Keney Tower, Clock tower in Downtown North Historic District, Hartford, United States.
The Keney Tower rises 130 feet from a 30-foot square base, featuring red sandstone construction with clock faces on all four sides.
Built in 1898 as a memorial commissioned by Henry Keney to honor his mother, the tower stands as Hartford's only freestanding tower structure.
The Collegiate Gothic architecture of Keney Tower reflects the late 19th-century American design principles with buttresses, pinnacles, and lancet-arched features.
Located at the intersection of Main and Ely Streets, the tower's bell chamber marks time by chiming every fifteen minutes throughout the day.
The structure occupies 1.5 acres of parkland and contains stone from Longmeadow, Massachusetts, transferred to city ownership in 1924.
