The Old Davidson Co. Courthouse features a four sided cupola clock. It is located on the square of Lexington, NC. At the intersection of Main St., and Center St. The address of the building is 1 S. Main St. Lexington, NC 27292. This building was originally completed in 1858, but the clock was not installed until 1907.
Did a little on-line research and found this note from: (

"Although the design of the cupola suggests that a clock was intended to be installed in it, it was not until 1907 that the city and county jointly paid to have a clock put in."
The clock chimes on the hour, and is a plesant sound echoing through the uptwon area.
