Town Clock. Madison's memorial for World War I veterans was installed during construction of an automobile dealership owned by Nat Pickett, Stirling Webster, and Jim Vaughn. The cost of the clock was around $600 and it was shipped by boat and rail from Boston. Engraved on the bell and face of the clock are the words "All of those who served" and "Madison, N.C." The clock has been refurbished and remains one of few large clocks operated by winding. In the 1920's, the building was purchased by T.D. Meadow and used as a wholesale grocery company. It is presently used for light-manufacturing by Gem Dandy company. Neo-Romanesque detailing is created by buttresses of gray brick and window arches which have been filled with brick.
