St. Paul's Church - New York, NY - Bell Towers on Waymarking.com

The plaque says, "This famous example of Gregorian Architecture, built 1764-1766, with spire and portico added 1794-1796, is the only church structure surviving the Colonial Era of New York City. The design by Thomas McBean closely followed that of St. Martin-in-the-feilds by James Gibbs. President George Washington was a regular attendant following his inauguration in 1789 when the New York was the national capital."

The bell tower is on the back side of the church, very unique as most bell towers are at the front. The bell tower comes up to a point, or spire. It has an unknown number of bells but rings every hour on the hour since. During 9/11, the church had some damage due to the twin towers collapsing, but that damage has since been restored to the bell tower and the rest of the church.
