Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Leaning Tower of Niles is a half-size replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Niles, Illinois. It was by industrialist Robert Ilg in 1934 as part of a recreation park for employees of the Ilg Hot Air Electric Ventilating Company of Chicago. The Leaning Tower of Niles contains five bells. Three of the bells are thought to be several hundred years old, and to have been cast in Italy. How they came to be included in the tower is not known. The tower was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
