The clock is working, and both faces agree on the time, but oddly, they're off by about an hour an twenty minutes. There is nothing fancy about the clock, although it certainly fits the decor of an old town square, solid green in color. There as no indication as to its manufacturer, and there are standard black Roman numerals, minute marks, and hands on a white background.
A memorial to Phllis Herskowitz on the south side of the clock suggests that 1998 was likely when the clock was placed:
Phyllis Herskowitz
October 1, 1933
January 28, 2008
Thanks to Phyllis securing a grant
from TxDOT for more than $248,000.00
the square was actually squared in 1998
In memory from a grateful community
