The most recognizable feature of Jeffersonville from the Ohio River or Kentucky side is the giant Colgate Clock that faces Kentucky from Jeffersonville.
The following information comes from Wikipedia's page about the Colgate Clock (
visit link) The site lists the town as Clarksville, Indiana but it is actually Jeffersonville which is located in Clark County.
Designed by Colgate engineer Warren Day and constructed by the Seth Thomas Clock Company for the centennial of the Colgate Company in 1906, the clock served as the original Colgate Clock at Colgate-Palmolive facilities in Jersey City, New Jersey before it was replaced with a larger version, now the largest clock in the world.
The clock, facing the Ohio River to the south, can be viewed across the river in Louisville, Kentucky.
In 2006 the factory was placed on Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana's 10 Most Endangered Landmarks list. Colgate-Palmolive plans to close it in 2008, moving its operations to Tennessee and Mexico, and the site is in a choice area for developers, as it is just across the river from Louisville, with easy access to I-65. Colgate has not made any plans for the preservation of the clock.[1] On February 13, 2007, the factory was again on the endangered list. Colgate refused an offer to put the factory on the National Register of Historic Places, which would mean funds from the Indiana Department of Transportation due to the Ohio River Bridges Project
