Built in 1899 under district governor Mahmut Bey, the Clock Tower stands on a high rock above the town. Its position was chosen for visibility, making it a recognisable feature of the Sivrihisar skyline.
The cut-stone tower has clock faces on all four sides. Its mechanism is described as wound weekly, with a brass hammer sounding the hours.
