Nauvoo Bell

Location| Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.
Type| Bell tower

The Nauvoo Bell, also known as the Relief Society Memorial Campanile, is a bell tower in Salt Lake City's Temple Square, in the U.S. state of Utah.[1][2]

It is also the name of the 1,500-pound bell in that tower, which was brought from Nauvoo, Illinois by pioneers. According to the Deseret News, "it's generally believed the bell was a gift from English converts to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when they arrived in Nauvoo", and it was hung in the tower of the Nauvoo Temple.[1]

The 35-foot tower displays multiple sculptures,[3] including 1942 works by Avard Fairbanks. Benevolence depicts women and children and measures approximately 4 feet tall by 3 feet wide.[4] Pioneering has the same dimensions and depicts a family with one man, one women, and two children.[5] Both works, collectively known as the Bell Tower Plaques, were surveyed by the Smithsonian Institution's Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in 1993.[4][5]
