Donated in 1984 by Ford D. Albritton Jr., the Albritton Bell Tower is one of the tallest buildings on Texas A&M’s campus standing 138 feet tall. Its location at the intersection of Old Main Drive, Jones and Lamar Streets is the original entrance to the University.

Cast in Annecy-le-Vieux, France, the Bell Tower’s Carillon contains 49 bells ranging from the smallest bell at 28 lbs. to the largest at 6,550 lbs.
