1904/00/00 Lewis F Goodrich Architect Athens City Hall is completed in light buff brick with oolitic limestone trimmings on the upper floors.
1915/00/00 Once connected to the Fire Department's alarm system, the bell in City Hall rang so loud and clear that all of Clarke County would come to a fire, hindering the work of the firemen. It was disconnected from the signal alarm and the clangor was dulled.
1943/00/00 The Athens City Hall clock is electrified. Until 1943, the handmade clock operated with counterweights like an old grandfather clock and the janitor had to climb five flights of steps once a week to wind the clock.
