![]() The building is featured on the town's historical society page as well as the town's home page. ![]() I have been passing this giant building and clock tower for years but never bothered to investigate it until I started to Waymark with seriousness. To look at it makes one think they have traveled back to 18th century London it just has that kind of feel. It is the most recognizable building on our side of the Delaware River. One look at this dinosaur and it's pretty obvious it is a historical site. The clock tower face is loaded with frieze art as well. I saw some weird scary faces, ornate designs and other symbols of prosperity typical of such architecture of the time. All over the outside of the building are interesting examples of frieze art. ![]() The building’s clock tower has since become a Riverside landmark. This was during an era where every man carried a pocket watch I remember my grandfather had one of those. Once upon a time, Riverside once housed the world's largest watch case manufacturer, doing business around the globe from the Philadelphia Watch Case Company Building. ![]()
