POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) — The nearly 100-year-old Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in eastern Idaho has received a new dome. The Idaho State Journal reports that a crane on Thursday lifted the new structure onto the church that was built in 1915 in Pocatello.

The church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
