Few things set a building apart like a clock tower, and this one pairs that feature with a combined administration and library building, a layout that was common on American campuses and in civic centers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Placing the library under the same roof as the offices that ran the institution signaled that books and learning were central to its mission. Clock towers on such buildings served a practical purpose, marking the hours for students, staff and townspeople, and they gave the structure a recognizable silhouette. When you look at the picture, notice how the tower anchors the composition and how the building's scale reflects the confidence of institutions of that era.
