Searching history I have found:
The cornerstone of the new courthouse was laid by the Free Masons of the County on June 24, 1850.
That first clock was installed in the courthouse tower in 1926 after sparks from the Downey House fire damaged the tower and it had to be rebuilt and refurbished from scratch.
In 1997 a project costing approximately $4 million was undertaken to raze the old jail and a portion of the old sheriff’s residence annexed to the courthouse of the purpose of housing an elevator, public restrooms, a second courtroom, judge’s chambers, law library, and other necessary facilities and offices. The project also included renovation to the original courthouse.
This clock has again been repaired as late as 2007, please see article at the following link:
