Tampa's
City Hall opened August 28, 1915 and still houses Tampa's city council chambers
and offices. The four-faced clock was nicknamed "Hortense" after
Hortense Oppenheimer Ford, the socialite daughter of a local physician who
raised money to purchase the timepieces during the building's
construction.
