Miss the clock striking? Repairs are on the way

Some folks have noticed that the courthouse clock has not been operating the past few weeks. But, not to worry, repairs are on the way.

Steve Wood, the buildings and grounds director for Hamilton County, says parts are hard to get but have been located and will be coming before long.

The clock and its huge cast iron bell designed to strike every hour are 140 years old. So, it’s not hard to understand that parts are hard to find.

But the clock, an iconic piece of local history, will definitely be back in service.

Thanks, Steve.
