The clock tower, affectionately known as the "light house on the hill," was constructed in 1899 where the bell had rung from the top of the Administration building. In 1953, Roy Clemons was hired by President Harry Heflin to work at Glenville State College, and for 39 years he was responsible for winding and maintaining the clock. The bell was removed in 2010 and relocated to this display area. To honor his years caring for the bell, the Glenville State College Classified Staff Council dedicated the Bell House Building to Mr. Clemons and named it Clemons Tower.
