*Links:

On the restaurant Webpage, a tiny photo puts the bell tower in context.  But the restaurant is only a tenant in the building, and does not control the chime, even though its facility contains the access to those controls.

Closeup photo from Chime Master Systems.  The clock jack (jill?) strikes the hour via drop hammer.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Eijsbouts bellfoundry, in this region and in the world.

Ranking among all North American chimes by size (number of bells).
