The bell tower in 2021

The Nauvoo Bell is a bell tower in Salt Lake City's Temple Square, in the U.S. state of Utah.[1][2]

The 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]
