A plan to rebuild a clock tower in the downtown at the entrance to Barnet Park at N Converse streets and E. St John Streets has been approved by the Spartanburg City Council.
The new tower will fulfill the commitment of the city to rebuild a clock tower downtown to house the bell from 1881, clockworks, and plaques from the clock tower that previously was in a median along West Main Street. The bell from 1881 will now have a place that was designed specifically to encourage interaction and engagement from the public with this icon from the civic history of Spartanburg.
Given the long history of the bell, it will once again become a fixture of public life in the community. The civic architecture of Spartanburg in the 1800s has inspired the design of the clock tower, with warm exposed brickwork, arched gateways, and visible belfry for the bell to be able to ring again.
There will be a colonnaded promenade that will connect the tower to the stage so that visitors will be able to walk through the tower under the arch, see the bell above them, and then walk towards the main stage area. The walls of the passage will have the names of those who helped to build a previous version of the tower.
