The clock is situated at the center of the business district amidst mid 19th century Merchantville, although many structures are also 20th century. The clock is unusual in that it is not a free standing clock, but rather attached to the side of an informational kiosk. It faces the intersection of S. Centre Street and W. Park Avenue. Essentially, if your back was to the town hall, you would not see it, you have to be in the street, facing town hall to see it. There is a weird platform which is in front of it (probably built for proclamations, etc.). The clock was in good shape and kept accurate time when I visited.
