The 109 year-old Skuller’s Clock was installed by Harry Skuller, a Lexington Jewelry store owner, back in 1913. The clock has gone through various modifications over the years, and had to be partially restored after a violent storm damaged it in 1974. The eyes, a distinct feature of the clock, were part of advertisement for an optometrist (Dr. L. H. Echols) that was associated with the jewelry store. Lexington is located in the state of Kentucky.
