Its a monument! WW1 veterans. Currently being renovated to be handicap friendly and bells added. Turns red when NC State wins a sports event.

This was a nice stop while we were in the area. The tower is beautiful and hearing the bells is definitely amazing. Plus the area around it has tons of grass which us great for kids to run and play. The area is perfect to park and walk the street as there are some cute little restaurants and shops nearby. Great monument at the gateway to North Carolina State University. Hope you get a nice sunny day to take good photos

The Bell Tower Tour by Dr Tom Stafford was great, full of history, little know facts and even a look inside to see the memorial room. The tour started at the arched entrance to Holiday Hall where the university began. If you get the opportunity, take the tour.

I got a tour of the Bell Tower from inside, guided by Dr. Thomas H. Stafford Jr. The newly created green space on the north side of the Talley Student Union is named the Stafford Commons in recognition of Thomas H. Stafford, Jr’s years of service to the university.Dr. Stafford briefly narrated the history of the Bell Tower, its significance and the timeline of its construction. After narrating the history, he asks us a question based on the names of the fallen heroes carved on the granite inside the Bell Tower. When no one is able to answer the question, the answer leaves us amazed!

Proud place for every wolf from the pack.... Go pack..It is the place to remember veterans. Everytime when NCState is proud of something, let it be a win in basketball or anything that NCstate is proud of, the Bell tower is lit red to celebrate victory of red and white(color of ncstate)

The impressive Bell Tower and lovely Harden Family Memorial Gardens, adjacent to the North Carolina State Capitol, Raleigh, make a fine place to rest and meditate on lifes blessings and challenges. Being right next to the First Presbyterian Church makes the spot convenient for worshipers, as well. Very nice tower, represents the university. Lights up red when NC State win a game.

A beautiful monument. The Belltower is definitely an essential sight of Raleigh with great significance for the North Carolina State University students and community. I cant wait till the new bells are installed and ringing.

God bless you all I dont know the history behind the Bell tower but I have ride my bike passed the belltower since I was 12 it always caught my eyes to look at its height. It is kind of serene but there is a lot of traffic a lot of other noise if you go there the right time of the day it can be peaceful it can be quiet but most parts is quite noisy there. I enjoyed it GBY All.

The Belltower is the symbol for NC State University. Building started in 1921 to memorialize the 34 veterans of WWI. If you have the chance take a tour and youll visit the shrine inside with the memorial plaque. In 2019, the Belltower is undergoing a multi-million dollar restoration and will have real bells installed in the tower.

Not much to see here. Can’t go up to the top and it’s not very high anyways. I guess it’s just okay.

Erected as a memorial to those who gave their lives in WWI, the tower will be fitted with a new set of bells to ring the hour and play music over campus.

Review №24

Beautiful monument and wonderful history. Great place to hangout if there is an event on Hillsborough. The tour is cool but I thought that going inside youd be able to either go up a little bit or at least see all the way up. Instead, you just stand in a very small room.

Its a great place in corner of NCSU campus. It has good historical stories and is favorite place for organizers of festivals on Hillsboro street. It looks really beautiful in evening when it is lit with red and white colors of NCSU. Its a favorite spot for all graduating students and couples to click memorable photos.
