My Commentary:
This Klokkenspel (glockenspiel) is located at 625 Franklin Street. It is two stories constructed of red brick. The first story is three arches that lead to a courtyard. The second story is where the glockenspiel figures perform. This "stage" is behind three large bay windows. Above the windows is a large white clock with black Roman numerals and black hands. The date plaque "1984" is above the clock.
The Klokkenspel was the dream of the local visionary industrialist, H. Stuart Kuyper and stands as a memorial to him. Characters from Pella's history can be viewed from Franklin Street and on the courtyard side. Performances are held daily at 11:00 am, 3:00 pm, 5:00 pm, and 9:00 pm.
In the old world courtyard there are flower beds, stone benches, and arched niches filled with Dutch tile scenes. All this can be experienced by walking a half block east on Franklin Street from Central Park's windmill.
