The tower and equipment were built by Verdin, a local company that specializes in tower clocks, bells and carillons. They have been in business since 1842 (the oldest family-owned business in Ohio), and have installed bells throughout North America. Fourteen of the bells here were originally located in a "V" chime on the wall of the company headquarters. At least six others are identified with nations from which immigrants came to this neighborhood over the years.
Here is the link to the local company that built the carillon's webpage. Here you will find additional pictures of this and other carillons Verdin has built.
