A Bell with a Past: San Juan Hill’s Legacy at Riverside’s Mission Inn
“Well, what does he want with all those bells? He’s got the fiercest appetite for bells of any man I ever saw.” That is the description of Frank A. Miller of the Mission Inn that a curio shop owner in England gave to a Los Angeles Times reporter. And how true that was. In the 1946 issue of The Bells & Crosses of the Glenwood Mission Inn, Riverside, California, 748 bells are listed and described. No visitor was ever able to see all of them as they could not be on display simultaneously, and even those on display were scattered in all corners and niches of the Inn. However, certain bells became more famous and were part of the itinerary for many visitors. The Nanking bell (Bell #272), rising six feet five inches high, has caught visitors' attention for many years as it has stood in various places in the courtyard in front of the Inn. Those interested in Riverside area history make sure to see the Agua Mansa Bell (Bell #359) from the early Hispanic community along the Santa Ana River. Then there is the bell (Bell #54) hanging in the Garden of the Bells, the oldest dated bell in Christendom, cast in 1247. All of these have unique stories that become familiar to many visitors to the Mission Inn.
