C.H.A.
has
worked
closely with
the town of
Collinsville
to see the
restoration of
the
"Town
Clock"
which has
long been a symbol and
trademark of Collinsville.
The
fate of the Seth
Thomas clock that once
sat atop the Cricket Theatre,
is no longer in
jeopardy. In
cooperation with the
Town, CHA was
instrumental in
finding help in
the form of a
qualified restorer of
classic time pieces.
The
clock has recently
undergone a total
restoration to its
original condition and
is currently on
display
at the Town Hall.
