m

The Coughlin Campanile is a chimes tower on the campus of South Dakota State University (SDSU). At 165 feet tall, it is the tallest chimes tower in the state of South Dakota. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. The top observation platform is open to the public, accessed by climbing 180 steps. The tower's chimes cover three octaves and can be "played" manually from an organ in the nearby Lincoln Music Hall. The Campanile also appears in SDSU's business logo and on most letterheads. Per its National Register nomination, "the structure is an important landmark for the campus of South Dakota State University and to the city of Brookings."
