The Clocktower
101 S Chillicothe St Plain City, OH 43064
The Westwood Collective proudly transformed one of Plain City's most historically significant landmarks into a thriving culinary destination. The 1902 Clocktower Building, which served as Howland Hardware until 1944, required a comprehensive restoration that honored its rich heritage while creating a modern, multi-use space for the community.
Our team meticulously renovated the entire 10,280-square-foot structure, preserving original hardwood floors throughout and creatively integrating historic casework from the former hardware store's "nuts and bolts" section as the stunning backdrop for the restaurant's bar. The main level transformation includes a 4,200-square-foot dining room and kitchen that seamlessly blends the building's industrial heritage with contemporary restaurant functionality.
The second floor houses a sophisticated 3,800-square-foot private event venue, complete with dedicated restrooms, full bar, and prep kitchen, making it ideal for weddings, corporate functions, and curated culinary experiences. Outside, we designed and constructed a charming biergarten that extends the dining experience into Plain City's historic streetscape, complete with string lighting and comfortable outdoor seating.
Now open and thriving, The Clocktower Kitchen + Bar represents the perfect collaboration between historic preservation and modern hospitality. Founded by seasoned professionals Benjamyn Greig, Shane Whitacre, and Chelsea Whitacre, the chef-driven American restaurant showcases seasonal ingredients sourced from Ohio's local farms, offering both casual dining and elevated culinary experiences. The restaurant's thoughtfully curated beverage program and warm, personalized service create an atmosphere where Plain City residents and visitors alike can celebrate life's moments in a truly unique setting.
This project exemplifies our commitment to preserving Ohio's architectural heritage while creating spaces that serve today's communities, transforming a beloved historic landmark into a cornerstone of Plain City's revitalized downtown district.
