Most county courthouses in Iowa have some kind of clock tower part to them, but I'll go with just two pictures for this thread.

Here you can see the two clock towers in my hometown of Winchester, Mass



The one on the left, which is mostly obscured a tree (sorry, but legal pics are few and far between) is the Town Hall. The one on the right is the First Congo church. I think basically every town in Mass has a town hall and a big white church, usually around their common, and many of these have clocks.
