First National Bank October 10, 1912 E Elizabeth and 11th St...
... with a new clock added about 1950 according to that Ford. These old clocks can still be found in cities across America restored on old bank buildings. But not in Brownsville, Texas.
E Elizabeth and 11th St corner today
Pan Am Bank early 1970's maybe ... with clock recycled since 1944 supposedly.
Pan Am Bank early 1970's and new signage. 3D signage is something we lost a lot of downtown.
1976 ground breaking ceremony for building of clock tower. Many names of people in that photo are still well remembered today by longtime Brownsville residents.
WooHoo!
Arnulfo Oliveira again....
Jean B. Eckhoff, a retired board member of the college board saved the bell and gave ot to the college to fix and use. So it was fixed, polished, installed and dedicated to the new section of library around 1990. It was a nice addition to the college and they've done a lot to preserve the historical assets of Brownsville, Texas. Maybe we'll take a look at that someday here on this blog.
