Sheets of iron 10 feet long were used to build the frame of the tank, and red bricks surround it.

Atop the water tank, there is a bell and four clock faces located within a structure that stands 41 feet tall.

The bell within the clock tower is made of genuine bronze and measures 40 inches wide.

The Rome Jaycees raised over $80,000 in 1986 in order to provide landscaping on top of Neely Hill around the clock tower.

The inside of the water tank now displays works of art by local artist Chuck Smultz.
