*Links:

The University Website shows Stuyvesant Hall on a campus map section, where a VR panorama offers a zoomable view of the building and its unusual porticoed belfry. Another link from the same page offers a more conventional photo of the building, along with a description. The chime tower is barely mentioned, and there is no information about these bells elsewhere.

These maps also show the location of the chime at St.Mary's Church.
