One of the most unique details preserved inside Keith Junior High School is something many former students likely remember well — the original wall clocks that still remain throughout the building.
Carefully restored and maintained by previous developers, the clocks are still in remarkable condition decades later. While they may not currently be running, efforts are underway to hopefully bring them back to life once again.
For those who once walked the halls of the school, these clocks probably served as more than just decoration. They were daily reminders of passing periods, upcoming classes, and the occasional realization that being late was unavoidable.
Today, however, they stand as small but meaningful pieces of the building’s history.
As redevelopment continues throughout Keith Junior High, details like these help preserve the character and memories tied to the property. From old gymnasiums and mechanical rooms to historic architectural features, each corner of the building tells part of the story of the generations who once filled its hallways.
The clocks may seem like a simple feature, but they capture something important about the project as a whole — the desire to honor the past while giving the building a new future.
