The Church Street United Methodist Church bell tower is one of four church towers located within a block of each other. The sanctuary beneath this tower was built in 1901 to replace the one finished in 1856. The original sanctuary was severely damaged in 1899 when a strong wind gust toppled the steeple shortly after choir practice ended. The steeple landed point first into the floor, but no one was injured.

I'd love to hear those bells!
I love to hear them too. I don't know if the bells in this tower ring, but the Presbyterian Church has chimes that play on the hour.
That's a nice perspective for this bell tower photo. I think you've captured a real piece of history there.
I love the angle of this one!
What a beautiful tower. I love the angle from which you've photographed it. I must try photographing towers that way. Inspirational.
Loved your pussy cat post the other day.
