A Place In Time
The Clock Tower on University Avenue in downtown Gainesville.
Taken during the Gainesville Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk.
This structure's design is based on the architectural features found on the original 1885 courthouse and was completed in 1983 to house the old courthouse clock. Manu-factured by the Seth Thomas Clock Company in 1885, the clock bell was connected with the city's fire alarm system and the entire town could hear its ringing. Its intri-cate clock works required that it be wound every eight days. Ted Crom restored the clock and the citizens of Gainesville helped finance the construction through donations.
