"Bell Tower Cultural Center served as the First Baptist Church of Florence from its construction in 1899 until it was donated by its congregation as an arts center to the Florence Arts Council in 2013. A basement was dug under the sanctuary in 1927 to provide Sunday School space. The bell was donated by a Pagosa Springs church in 1939".
