A clock bell-tower of unusual design was built on to the southwest corner of the refectory in the sixteenth century (111. 90). Instead of carrying the usual octagon its high square base is surmounted by an irregular hexagon. This in turn is topped by a smaller hexagon with semi-columns on the corners, rosettes and niches on the surfaces, a bell-tier with shallow arches and a short tent-shaped spire. The sixteenth-century monastery inventory describes this building as follows: "and by the refectory there is a bell that doth strike the Lenten chimes and a clock that doth chime every hour." Hexagonal towers were common in wooden fortified architecture. The somewhat crude technique of building with large bricks is similar to that of the gateway Church of the Annun­ciation. It is highly likely that both buildings were the work of local Suzdal architects who had been used to working in wood and had invested their brick buildings with the spirit and techniques of wooden architecture.

Thus we see that the various convent buildings were the work of several different architects or teams of builders. One team built the cathedral, another the refectory church, and a third was responsible for the gateway church and the refectory bell-tower.
