Coughlin Campanile

The Coughlin Campanile was completed on the campus of South Dakota State University in 1929. It was designed by architects Perkins & McWayne. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.Per its National Register nomination, it "is considered by many as the most outstanding chimes tower in South Dakota. As the tallest campanile in the state, the structure is an important landmark for the campus of South Dakota State University and to the city of Brookings."At a cost of $75,000, it was a gift to the University from Charles Coughlin, a graduate from the class of 1909. The Campanile is a chimes tower that rises to 165 feet with 180 steps to the top observation platform open to the public, and is located on Medary Avenue. 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.
