Baxter Clock

The four-sided Baxter Clock features brass and steel works contained in a spherical cast iron case comprising three distinct architectural stages.

Seth Thomas Clock Company manufactured this street clock in 1920, and it was installed in 1930 opposite the entrance of Baxter's Jewelry Store.

The clock stands as a representation of American urban development when street clocks served as essential timekeeping instruments for entire communities.

The clock underwent extensive restoration in 1991 after spending fourteen years in storage due to damage from a collision with a furniture truck.

This timepiece remains one of only three operational street clocks of its specific design still existing in the United States.
