Shire Hall Clock - Yea, Victoria, Australia - Town Clocks on Waymarking.com

"The hall is typical of the mid Victorian eclectic revival and modification of various stands of European Renaissance architecture that culminated in the Academic Classical style. The building is symmetrical with rounded windows and entrance inspired by Roman or Renaissance architecture. The construction date of 1894 and building’s name appear above the doorway on the pediment. The pedemented portico is inspired by a classical temple front, which may also have inspired the Corinthian topped columns that ornament the front. The façade itself, covered in cement render, has the ground floor as a base and the main floor treated like a piano nobile. Other typical attributes of the Victorian Academic Classical style include the balustrade ornamented parapet, which conceals the roof, and perhaps the building’s most impressive feature, the prominent central tower with its mansard roof. The tower employs classical motifs and garland boiseries and features a working clock." [From raaen99, in flickr: (visit link) ]

I know that there are at least three clock faces on the Tower. Each with a striking white background, and black metalwork for the Roman numerals, concentric rings, minute ticks, and clock hands. It seems that the clock was running five minutes slow when I was there.
