Key Point: Octagonal Tower

The staircase beyond this door leads up to the octagonal tower on the roof. The upper portion of each window in the tower is fitted with colored glass, much like the windows in the center of the lecture hall. The bell that hangs in the tower was rung to mark the start and end of each class. The tower’s ceiling was originally made from paper, like the ceilings in other parts of the building, but it was resurfaced with wooden planks soon after.

This type of rooftop tower was a common feature of Western-style buildings constructed early in the Meiji era (1868–1912). At that time, towers were considered a defining feature of Western architecture. Similar towers can be seen on the buildings of the former Yamabe School and the former Nakagomi School, both in Nagano Prefecture.

八角塔樓

這扇門裡的樓梯通往屋頂的八角塔樓。與講堂（報告廳）中間的窗戶一樣，塔樓所有窗戶的上半部都使用彩色玻璃鑲嵌。塔樓上懸掛著一口鐘，用於上下課報時。塔樓天花板原本和校舍其他房間一樣也是用和紙糊製而成，但不久之後就換成了木板。

這種屋頂塔樓在明治時代（1868-1912）的日本西式建築中很常見。當時，塔樓被視為西方建築的代表性特徵。在長野縣的舊山邊學校和舊中込（音同「迂」）學校也能看到類似的塔樓建築。
