Clock Tower
​
East Liverpool Alumni Association Clock Tower
​
The East Liverpool Alumni Association Clock Tower is a prominent landmark in the city, standing as a tribute to the former East Liverpool Central School. The original Central School, built in 1894, was demolished in 1971. The East Liverpool High School Alumni Association (ELHSAA) was formed in 1986 with a primary goal of preserving the original clock from the old school.
Through community efforts and donations, the ELHSAA was able to build a new clock tower and alumni building on the site of the former school. The new structure, which resembles the original Central School's tower, was dedicated in 1992. The original clock from the demolished school was incorporated into the new tower, creating a physical link to East Liverpool's educational history.
Today, the clock tower serves as a central point for alumni gatherings and houses a museum dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of East Liverpool High School and its graduates. It's a symbol of community pride and a reminder of the city's rich past.

​
Grand Victorian Commerical Building
​
Standing proudly on the eastern corner of East Liverpool's public square—known locally as "The Diamond"—the J.C. Thompson Building has been a downtown icon since it first opened its doors in September 1892. This magnificent four-story structure is a testament to the city's turn-of-the-century prosperity and architectural flair. Its intricate, decorative brickwork, a unique corner turret adorned with elaborate wooden trim, and windows with colored glass transoms showcase the flamboyant design popular during the late Victorian period. This bold style sets it apart from the more subdued buildings that would follow in the 20th century.
Currently, the Thompson Building is the focus of a major restoration effort aimed at bringing this historical gem back to life and securing its place as a key player in the city's ongoing revitalization.
