Built in 1939, the clock is a monolithic poured concrete structure that measures about 14 feet square with a flat roof. The squat proportions are given a vertical emphasis by Art Deco "pilasters" formed by vertical fluting. A clock face is placed on each elevation, with sweeping green and white hands and red circles denoting hours. A decorative bronze door on the north side of the tower provides access to the motor room, where a new motor has been installed. Bronze plaques from the period are embedded in the concrete walls, commemorating the influence of Lt. Mamer who died in a flying accident the year before the clock was built. The structure retains excellent integrity; the only change occurred when the clock hands, originally painted black, were painted in green and white.
