Taken: October 18, 2008
Caption: Main Street and the Fire Bell Monument
Additional Description: The first Bell Tower was placed there in 1865 for a fire alarm. It was briefly moved, but returned to this spot after the fire that consumed the Court House in 1910. Over the years it has been rebuilt to its present appearance. It has lost its original purpose, but remains a reminder of past days. Source: Placerville Walking Tour Brochure
