The original Santa Cruz Town Clock was atop the 1873 Oddfellows building, and can be seen in a photo on History Pages: 30 – How the Town Became a City. That clock tower was destroyed in 1899, as shown in the SCPL photo at left. A new brick tower was soon built, which is the one that was placed in its current location in time for the 1976 city centennial celebration, atop a newly-constructed red brick base, on the most central downtown intersection where Front Street ends at Water street.
