Ludlow Clock Tower Explained

The Ludlow Clock Tower is a clock tower located in Ludlow, Massachusetts. The tower is part of the Ludlow Mills complex, and is depicted as part of the town seal.[1] The tower was constructed as part of the complex in 1886 by the Ludlow Manufacturing and Sales Company.[2]

Present use

Ludlow Mills ceased operation in the 1960s and the building, although occupied by various tenants since, has deteriorated.[2] In late 2011, it was announced that the complex had been purchased by WestMass Area Development Corporation for $7 million. The company plans to sell some of the space to HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital and some buildings to WinnDevelopment for senior housing.[2] [3] [4]
