Vietnam Veterans Memorial Clock Tower

[click image to enlarge] Dedicated in 1987, the Clock Tower is an 85 foot high structure of brick and granite with a gold leaf cupola and a working clock. The base of the tower is 16 feet by 16 feet and is dedicated to the memory of Quincy men who died from wounds suffered during the war in Vietnam. The names are inscribed in granite at the base of the tower.

Below is a close up of the base of the tower.
