The locally prominent White family was closely associated with St. Paul's since its founding. It was observed that "the name [White] should always be woven into the history of St. Paul’s." [3]

The spire and windows were dedicated in 1907 by Horace and Clara's sons Andrew Dickson White (1832–1918; co-founder and first president of Cornell University) and Horace Keep White (1835–1915; banker and head of a salt company). [3]
