Help save the Historic Village Clock Tower

The historical First Presbyterian Church clock tower is Southampton Village’s most recognizable skyline feature. Built   in 1843 the First Presbyterian Church is home to a historic hand  wound clock installed in 1871. The church’s hand wound

clock stands at approximately 100 feet in the air and is one of the   rarest clocks in the state which has not been moved since its  installation in 1871. Presently the historical integrity of the church steeple and the hand wound clock are threatened by the proposed installation of cell antennas by Metro PCS in the   tower. As part of Southampton Village’s historic district, the church is considered an individually significant structure. Our  goal is to keep its historical integrity and make the hand wound  clock run for another 150 years.

Please support the effort to preserve this most precious  community asset.
