HISTORICAL BELMONT, THE ANTE BELLUM MANSION, ONCE SCENE FOR THE GRANDEST CHRISTMAS PARTIES OF THEM ALL!We have tried to recapture this nostalgic Christmas grandeur and pomp with the organ and chimes - reflecting the mood of a slower era - when people took the time while shopping for Christmas to listen to the magnificent carillon bells that hung from the Belmont tower, hung there by Ward Belmont. (The original bells are retired and are on exhibit at the Schulmerich Museum.)
The original estate is now a private college and boasts of a Business School of Music. Apropos, being in Music City, U.S.A. Your organist, Bob Mulloy, truly and [sic] impresario and master of the keyboard, heads that department.
