Tower of Fowler Biblical School, Historical bell tower at University of Nanking site, China.
The three-story stone and brick tower incorporates colonial design elements with rounded arches, steep roofs, and geometric proportions.
Built in 1888 as part of Fowler Biblical School by Methodist Episcopal missionaries, the tower underwent reconstruction after a fire in 1917.
The bell tower stands as the first three-story building in Nanjing, merging Western and Chinese architectural traditions in educational construction.
The structure currently functions as office space while maintaining protected status as a Major National Historical and Cultural Site in Jiangsu.
During the 1937 Nanking Massacre, the tower and surrounding campus provided shelter for civilians within the Nanking Safety Zone.
