Beale Memorial Clock
3801 Chester Avenue
Bakersfield, CA, 93301
Those with Bakersfield apartment know that their city may have been very different in days gone by, but thanks to one landmark, these citizens can make their way to a piece of the old world for themselves. In the middle of the Kern County Museum, visitors will find the legendary Beale Memorial Clock Tower, a towering monolith of classic technology that used to stand right in the center of the city, and now is kept in the heart of this museum as a memorial to days gone by. With an apartment near the Beale Memorial Clock Tower, you can visit a piece of old Bakersfield whenever you like, without taking the long trek across town. Today, Bakersfield is a thriving city with huge crowds and busy streets, but most people from Bakersfield apartments can tell you that it wasn't always this way. Things were much calmer years ago, when the crowds were not nearly as big, technology had not reached the amazing heights they had today, and there were a lot fewer cars on the road, and people from Bakersfield apartments used to stand in awe of the large Beale Memorial Clock Tower which sat in the middle of town. The tower was created in remembrance of the grandmother of Truxtun Beale, and was donated to the city in 1904, but as years went by, the city grew far too fast, and soon this epic tower made its way to the Kern County Museum, where many visitors, from apartments near the Beale Memorial Clock Tower, as well as from across the city, make their way to take in the testament to life in the early twentieth century. The world has changed so very must in the last one hundred years, but those with apartments near the Beale Memorial Clock Tower can transport back to the more innocent times with a simple trip down the road. There are few other places in town that offer such a trip down memory lane, so if you're looking to experience a piece of history, there's no better place to visit.
