The inner workings of the old 1890 Escambia county courthouse tower clock are on display for all to see in this glass enclosure protecting the clock on the southwest corner of the
Escambia County Courthouse grounds.

The town clock is located at the corner of Palafox and Government streets in downtown Pensacola, near the Ferdinand VII Plaza.

The clock has four faces that DO NOT appear to the Blasterz to be part of the original clock. Each face is round in shape and teal in color The hour numbers have been painted on the inside of protective shatterproof glass covering the faces. The hours are indicated by ornate metal hands pointing to classic Roman numerals. You can clearly see these small marks around the outside of the faces of the clocks marking the minutes of the hour.
