What happened to this old local landmark?
Loss of Liberty: The bell was something of a local landmark. Photographs reprinted with permission of DC Public Library, Star Collection, © Washington Post.
The Treasury Department had commissioned scores of these replicas from a foundry in France to advertise a US savings-bond drive. Throughout the spring of 1950, the bells toured the country. One was then given as a thank-you to each of the states and territories. But over the decades, the Liberty Bell replica that no one had seemed to want became a local landmark of sorts. It was an easy rendezvous spot for some: “I’ll meet you at the bell.” It occasionally served as a patriotic backdrop—Miss Washington 1956 was photographed there—and residents sometimes rang the bell in celebration as parades passed on Pennsylvania Avenue.
