At Riverside, Illinois, USA (originally the EXPO belfry) the bells 
have not been visible since a few years after installation, when they 
were enclosed with a "bell house".  I suppose it was for sound 
reduction purposes.  See www.gcna.org/data/ILRIVERS.HTM for more 
information and a photo.  The ringers are still visible at ground 
level, though they don't ring in cold or inclement weather.
