13 Nancy Brown Peace Carillon Tower
Nancy Brown was a much-loved columnist with the Detroit News. In 1934, a reader suggested and Nancy promoted a gathering for a sunrise service on Belle Isle. It drew up to 50,000 participants and became an annual event. From this, came the idea for a Peace Carillon on Belle Isle. Conceived in 1936, it was built by the nickels and dimes of readers, and dedicated in 1940. It was at this dedication that Nancy spoke and readers saw her "face-to-face" for the first time. In 2005 The Friends of Belle Isle contributed funds for the sound to be restored.
