Soldiers' Tower
Soldiers' Tower is attached to Hart House at U of Toronto and was constructed in 1924 to honour alumni who had lost their lives in WWI. It was redesigned in 1949 to include the names of those who gave up their lives in WWII and then renovated in the 1970s when more bells were added to the carillon bringing the total up to 51. It feels like ages since we had such a clear sky and in fact I took this pic in mid October.

Wonderful looking tower, a great memorial
Wonderful!
Soldiers' Tower... something else new I have learned from you Pat.
That is a wonderful memorial to those lost and it is such a beautiful structure too. 51 bells in the carillon! That must sound awesome.
51 bells! Wow! Do the bells get rung ever?
Wow!
I've always liked the architecture of that part of U of T.
A beautiful monument!
If those 51 bells get run together it must be a beautiful sound. Gorgeous tower, too.
Wow, that is a beautiful and impressive memorial.
I'm sorry for your cloudy skies. It's pouring down rain here at the moment but it's about 80 degrees F. This is one beautiful tower with a lot of meaning.
What a beautiful tower! The carillon is probably wonderful to hear. And that blue sky is catnip, especially in winter.
Nice sky, shot and sentiment, Pat
