"Luminous Liberty Bell", Philadelphia, PA
As I do love bells, here's the 80-foot (24m) tall "Luminous Liberty Bell" spanning Broad Street (at Johnson St), Philadelphia, PA, built in 47 days by Frank C. English & Sons in April-May, 1926, at a cost of $100,000 for the 1926 Sesqui-Centennial International Exposition. The bell was illuminated with 26,000 15-watt light bulbs set at six-inch centers and eight 200-watt projectors in the clapper. The structure contained 80 tons of steel resting on a foundation of 30-foot wooden pilings with a concrete capping.
Today it would cost $1,676,819.21 [+]
And here a picture of the Pummerin in #Vienna's St. Stephens Cathedral...
The Old Pummerin was originally cast in 1705 from 208 of the 300 cannons captured from the Muslim invaders in the Second Turkish Siege of Vienna.
