Denny Chimes, Art Deco bell tower at University of Alabama, United States.
The 115-foot Denny Chimes features a limestone base, red brick shaft, and stepped pyramidal roof on the south side of The Quad.
Construction of Denny Chimes began in 1929 after students raised $40,000, following an initial 1919 proposal as a World War I memorial.
The Walk of Fame surrounding the tower displays handprints and footprints of University of Alabama football team captains in cement slabs since 1948.
The carillon system includes 25 cast bronze bells that ring every 15 minutes and play special melodies during university celebrations and events.
The largest bronze bell in the tower measures eleven feet in circumference and three feet in height, producing deep resonant tones.
