Beaumont Tower, Gothic bell tower at Michigan State University, East Lansing, US
The 104-foot-tall Beaumont Tower features stone walls, Gothic architectural details, and a 49-bell carillon that rings throughout the university grounds.
Built in 1928 by Donaldson and Meier architects, the tower marks the location of College Hall, the first building for scientific agriculture education in America.
The tower includes The Sower, an Art Deco relief by Lee Lawrie, and displays the biblical inscription from Galatians 6:7 on its stone facade.
Located in the center of Michigan State University campus, the tower provides scheduled carillon concerts and remains open to visitors during daylight hours.
The bells of Beaumont Tower started with 10 instruments in 1928 and expanded over time to create a complete musical range of 49 bells.
