The James Carter Memorial Chime (1876)
The James Carter Memorial Chime (1876) by Paul W. Thompson Introduction Rising above the southeast corner of Wabash Avenue and Huron Street, the historic bell tower of St. James Cathedral houses a historically important musical instrument: the James Carter Memorial Chime. It was installed and dedicated in December of 1876, a noble and enduring monument to Mr. Carter and the generous gift of his four children. A chime is a musical instrument of between 8 and 22 cast-bronze cup-shaped tower bells arranged in a series. (A carillon, by contrast, has 23 or more such bells.) The Carter Chime, a key example of 19th century American chime craftsmanship, consists of 10 bells weighing a combined total of 10,785 pounds (about 5 tons), with a tenor, or largest bell, of 3,100 pounds. The Chime can be heard every day of the week by 21st century visitors to the River North/Magnificent Mile area of Chicago. Historical Significance The James Carter Memorial Chime is one of the earliest installations by an important American bell foundry with an 80-year history. (The firm, Meneely and Kimberly of Troy, New York, was founded in 1870.) Also, the Chime seems to be the only surviving 19th century carillon type instrument in Illinois, and the fourth oldest in the western Great Lakes region. Most significantly, it is believed that, outside of the original 13 colonies, the James Carter Memorial Chime is the nation's oldest operating set of at least ten pitched bells that has not been altered in size or location since its manufacturer's installation.
