Roslyn Clock Tower
Originally constructed in 1895 and funded by the children of philanthropist Ellen Eliza Ward. The building cost $7,000 at that time and the inscription over the door reads: “ In loving memory of Ellen E. Ward, A.D. 1895, to whom Roslyn and its people were dear. She fell asleep January 18, 1893.”
