Tall Clock by Benjamin Willard. The clock has a rectangular base with a short overhanging lip on the bottom edge. The base supports a tall, rectangular body with a semicircular fan-shaped design above a closed door. The clock face is housed in an arched top section adorned with a carved wooden scrollwork with three gilded balls on top. The clock face features a white background, Roman numerals, and black hands. A painted portrait of a man is visible above the clock hands. The entire clock is made of wood with a reddish-brown finish.
