Salmon Run Bell Tower, Bell tower in Esther Short Park, Vancouver, US
The Salmon Run Bell Tower reaches a height of 69 feet and features a clock with a glockenspiel diorama at Propstra Square in Vancouver, Washington.
The bell tower, dedicated in 2002, received funding from philanthropist George Propstra who contributed 3 million dollars for its construction in the oldest public park of Washington.
Bronze sculptures of salmon encircle the tower base while the glockenspiel presents narratives about Chinookan peoples and their connection to the Columbia River.
The tower stands at the southeast corner of Esther Short Park near the intersection of 6th and Columbia Street, with ongoing restoration work scheduled until 2025.
The structure incorporates a specialized water feature and storytelling mechanisms that combine architectural elements with regional historical presentations throughout the day.
