*Links:

The English Wikipedia article about the building has photos of it, but does not mention any bells.

The former church Website opened with a photo of the building, and an older sketch was at the bottom of the menu column on the left side of every page.  A good map of the property can be found from the Directions page.  The chime is mentioned on the History page.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Meneely (Watervliet) bellfoundry.
