Oxford, Mississippi A.S. Hotchkiss Restoration
Below is a video I often share when people ask about the restoration process that a community will often see. This restoration is especially important because it is a very similar A.S. Hotchkiss clock to our very own installation in the Cabarrus County Courthouse. The restoration was done by clock restoration expert Lloyd Larish from Faribault, Minnesota. The clock underwent a full restoration which involved completely removing the movement from the building and reinstalling upon completion. This will be a very similar process to ours and will take several years to complete. We also plan on displaying the restored movement in the courthouse for all to enjoy before reinstalling it high above in the tower.
