The Tom Phillips Bell Tower 1924-1944

Tom Phillips built stone structures all over the area. Of note was the Bell Tower built at the corner of McGregor and the new San Carlos Blvd in 1926. It show vistors were to to and how to get to San Carlos.

This intersection had many names, Miners Corner, Barlett's Corner, and the Beach Cut-off. But if you mentioned any of these people knew what you were talking about.

The iconic Bell Tower was removed in 1944 and the bell was apparently used in the war effort. The Bell Tower is still remembered by many residents. At one time the shopping area accross the street was called Bell Tower Plaza.
