The bell tower is a free standing structure with entrance at same level as basement door. This tower blew down and was replaced with a smaller structure. The original rock wall is still intact.

A new two story structure was built but that too could not withstand the strong winds and weight of the bell so it was taken down. A one story enclosure housed the bell at the time of the sale of the buiding.
