The Chime/Bell Tower
Bells are composed of the purest copper and tin of proper proportions.
They are arranged in the tower in a strong frame and the four larger bells are equipped with complete mountings, so that they may be used independently of the remaining bells and rung as a peal.
System is equipped to get any modulation of tone desired.
One of the largest and most complete chimes in this country.
The bells are from the McShane Bell Foundry Company, Baltimore, Maryland.
