The Cone & Kimball Tower: Red Bluff's Rebuilt Heart
A symbol of Red Bluff's resilience, the Cone & Kimball Tower is a rebuilt landmark that embodies the town's history and community spirit, offering a glimpse into its vibrant past.
The Cone & Kimball Tower is a replica of the iconic clock tower that once stood as the centerpiece of Red Bluff, California. The original Cone & Kimball Building, a grand Victorian structure built in 1886 by pioneer businessmen Joseph Cone and Gorham Kimball, was the region's finest general store, symbolizing the town's prosperity and spirit. Sadly, it was destroyed by fire in 1984, leaving a void in the heart of the community. In 2008, a dedicated community effort led to the construction of this 75-foot replica, bringing back a beloved landmark. Today, the tower stands as a testament to Red Bluff's resilience and a focal point for community gatherings and events in the Cone & Kimball Plaza. Visitors can admire its architecture, learn about the building's history, and enjoy the surrounding plaza, which hosts various local events. The tower serves as a reminder of Red Bluff's rich past and a symbol of its bright future.
