190 South River Avenue, often referred to as the Tower Clock Building, graces the corner of 8th Street and River Avenue in Downtown Holland. Here’s what you need to know:

• Retail Space: The first floor offers 4,406 square feet of beautiful retail space, currently occupied by Jean Marie’s—a charming clothing boutique.
• Historic Significance: Constructed in 1892, this Victorian Romanesque building was made of locally quarried Waverly Stone.
• Holland City Bank: Originally, it housed the Holland City State Bank, established in 1878 by Jacob Van Putten. Over the years, various professional offices occupied the upper floors.
• Depression Era: Unfortunately, the bank closed during the Great Depression, but the building continued to host businesses, including the Bell Telephone office.

And don’t miss the iconic round clock that has helped residents keep appointments for 116 years!
