The UNC Website includes a campus tour page with the history of the tower and some photos.
A more extended history can be found in the middle of a page on campus landmarks.
The campus map is a PDF download (78KB), and is readable if you enlarge it to 200% or more; the bell tower is just north of the stadium, which is in the center of the map.
A UNC-CH facilities database will provide additional information when the Facility Name pull-down menu is set to "Bell Tower". A different photo of the tower is available there by clicking Photo after the General information about the tower is displayed.
