Description
The Bell Tower on the bluff above downtown Port Townsend, Washington, USA. It is one of two known towers of this type in the United States, and was used from 1890 to the 1940s to call volunteer firefighters. It was restored in 2003 by the Jefferson County Historical Society. The second bell tower is located in Helena, Montana, and was also used for fire alarms during the late 19th century. Also available in vintage sepia.
The charming town of Port Townsend, Washington, located in Jefferson County, is at the northeast tip of the Olympic Peninsula on the north shore of Washington. The population of Port Townsend is approximately nine thousand. Its area is about nine square miles, some of which is water.
