 The Conrad History Association needs your help!
Back in the 1920s, the First State Bank put up a big clock that hung on the corner of the PCA Building on 4th Ave. S.W. and Main St. It proudly told the time to all that drove by until it was taken down in the 1950s when PCA owned the building.
Steve Preputin took the clock to his farm where it has rested until recently when the History Association brought it back to town.
Plans are to fully restore the clock and donations would be appreciated.
The clock had four matching faces with a 25” glass face put together in sections separated with lead and it appears that there were chimes that activated on the hour.
There is very little known about the clock and its history, so any information would be greatly appreciated. The whereabouts of the inner workings of the clock are also a mystery as they are not with the clock.
If you have any information on the clock, the history, the inner workings, or anything in general, the History Association would be glad to hear about it. Please contact Harold Olson, Francis Erickson, both of Conrad, or email The Independent-Observer at
