Location of clock: Main St., atop the courthouse, Bolivar
Clock built: 1868
This clock built in 1868 has a round face, and it shows on all four side of the copula/bell tower. White background helps the large (thick) arms and hands to bee seen all across the square. The numbers are also black and listed in the Roman style
"A new Courthouse was needed, so the third and current courthouse was completed in 1868 in the same location. The two story brick building features a pedimented portico with four Corinthian Columns atop an arched brick entranceway. Other features include a rusticated stone base and a square clock tower with a bell atop the center of the roof. In 1955, three story brick wings were added on either side." ~ Brent Moore
