The Talladega County Courthouse clock has faces that face each side of the city square. The photo is of the north-facing clock. The Talladega Courthouse was built in 1836 and is the oldest Courthouse in continuous use in Alabama. The courthouse survived a tornado on May 11, 1912 that destroyed the clock tower and a fire on March 25, 1925 that severely damaged the structure. Following the fire, Chattanooga architect R. H. Hunt was hired to redesign the building. When it was rebuilt, the east and west entrances were enclosed and a Seth Thomas Clock was installed in the clock tower.
