Excerpt from militarybruce.com:

While the Listowel Clock Tower only dates back to 1994, it’s a replica of the clock tower that once topped Listowel’s old post office, where the clock was housed from 1911 until the post office was demolished in 1982. The clock tower now serves as a nice accent to the village’s Cenotaph Park.

The three-storey brick building that featured a four-faced clock housed in a distinctive clock tower that included a 700-pound bell that would toll on the hour, once stood on the corner of Main Street West and Argyle Avenue.

The clock, originally made in the early 1900s by W.F. Evans and Sons in Birmingham, England, was restored by Neil and Tim Bakelaar of Bakelaar Jewelers, who have a shop in Listowel.

Excerpt from ontariowarmemorials.blogspot.com:

The war memorial is a beautiful memorial with a long list of names from this small Ontario town. The main memorial is a marble stone block with the names of those who gave their lives in the Great War, adorned with a touching statue on top, featuring a kneeling soldier and an angel to comfort him.

Two separate stones mark the Second World War and Korea. The entire memorial is located in a pretty park, across from the town offices.

Knox Presbyterian Church was built between 1883 and 1887 in the “Romanesque style with lofty towers and turrets”, reflecting a strong Scottish influence. The design was by George F. Durand who also designed the Perth County Court House in Stratford. The building underwent restoration work in 1992, the Sunday school wing was added in 1993 and the tower and turrets were restored in 2000.

The large home at 385 Argyle Avenue North was originally owned by Murdoch MacGillvray, whose grandson Mac Pratt was a well-known lawyer and former
Mayor of Listowel. The house is built from soft red Wallace brick which requires painting for protection. For years flowering magnolia trees, rare to this area
blossomed on the front lawn.
