Deeds Carillon Bell Tower Dayton Ohio Postcard

The carillon bell tower was built by Col. Edward Deeds, the automotive pioneer and former NCR chief, and his wife Edith Walton Deeds.

Mrs. Deeds reportedly fell in love with the sound of carillon bells while traveling with her husband in Bruges, Belgium, in the 1930s. The carillon’s first concert was on Easter Sunday, 1942. The tower, made of Indiana limestone, was specially designed to hold the massive weight of the bells.

Of the 32 bells originally forged for the carillon, eight were “silent,” each a memorial to a member of the Deeds family. The 151-foot-tall carillon is located at the center of a sprawling lawn at the front door of the park. Deeds Carillon, the centerpiece of Carillon Historical Park, performs free mini-concerts each day at 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.
