Furman University's Bell Tower

The bell tower is a beloved piece of architecture on the Furman Univerity's campus in Greenville, SC. The tower was originally connected to a building known as Old Main and is now known as Richard Furman Hall. The tower was desgined by a well known architect from Charleston, Edward C. Jones, who has designed several curches and parts of cemetaries all through out South Carolina. In the early beginnings of Furman Unviversity the tower rang at the end and start of classes and was also used after an athletic victory. During the period of the Civil War the bells were sound after a Confederate Victory. The new Bell tower is currently being used for the same purposes of the original bell Tower. Standing tall on a peninsula in Furman Lake, the landmark tops the beautiful Paris Mountain in the background.
