(November 22, 1943): The cornerstone of the Bryan police tower at the northeast corner of the Williams County courthouse park was laid.
For several years Bryan Village Council discussed building a police tower on the square to allow officers to quickly respond throughout town. The tower was a 10- x 10-foot, eight-sided yellow brick and concrete structure with a flat roof.
The police tower was first occupied in January 1944. Circa 1961 the Bryan Police Department relocated to City Hall.
The police tower was razed on September 15, 1965.
