Shelby Cook :

Monroe history is wild because I currently own/live in a house here built in 1921 but I can’t find any history on it.

MadameSolanum :

If that’s supposed to be the Big Ben tune, it’s an awful rendition

Glinda Korean Skin Care :

Wonder what plans? I love the history of Monroe. Mr. Bry was born in 1781 in Geneva, Switzerland and built in 1814 in Monroe. Layton Castle

When Vantage Health Plan purchased that building, we refurbished a good portion of it and added an elevator – and one of our top priorities was to fix the clock

I use to go to Central Bank and make deposits for where I worked. What's funny is I was only like 12-13. That's when it was safe to walk ran with a bank bag. It was one on my little jobs I did. I'm 64 now.

Very Nice! You should do history of The warehouse #1 !Monroe is full of cool history

Cletus :

This is the building where Delta Air Lines was named and founded! Central Bank loaned the money to C.E. Woolman, and the secretary was the person that actually named the air line! Delta held its annual shareholders meeting in this building for decades, then the meetings were moved to the Civic Center until 9-11.... Afterwards, the meetings were moved to ATL.

As a kid in the sixties I spent a lot of time in downtown Monroe. I would never walk directly under that clock. I just knew that it was going to fall and I didn’t want that sharp point to land on me.

emmcharlene :

My dad worked on that clock for probably 20 years until 2003. I don’t know who works on it anymore but I’m so glad to see it still working!
