The original 17 Russian bells from the Danilov Monastery in Moscow were purchased in 1930 by Charles Crane, a patron of Russian Orthodox Art. This unique set of bells was subsequently donated to Harvard. In 2008, a bell exchange was concluded through which the original bells were returned to Russia and replicas were specially cast for Harvard at Voronezh. The bell in this photograph is called Mother Earth and weighs nearly 13 tons.

Lowell House is close to the Yard, next to the MAC, and sometimes, too close to Nochs. While Lowell's detractors will complain about the Russian Bells (they’re only annoying on Sundays at 1 p.m.), there isn’t much to dislike about this Neo-Georgian beauty. If Lowell residents come to greet you on Housing Day, revel in the glory that the Housing Gods have bestowed upon you—for the next three years, you'll belong to a House that you'll be proud to show off to your parents and jealous peers.
