The Atkinson Clock Tower, Borneo
The building of Clock Tower was initiated in1902 and was completed in 1905. It was built as a memorial to the first District Officer of Kota Kinabalu, then Jesselton, Mr. Francis George Atkinson who had died in 1902 of Borneo Fever(Malaria) at age 28. The clock was started on April 19,1905 while still under construction. Originally built of Mirabau wood,the clock tower stands at 14.63meters(48 feet) high.Over the years,through repairs and extensive renovations,the original facade has altered significantly. The Sabah Museum took over the care and maintenance of the clock tower in 1979 and the site was gazetted as a Government reserve in August 1983. It was also declared as a Cultural Heritage under the Cultural Heritage(conservation) Enactment 1997 on 26 March 1998.

Atkinson Clock Tower
One of the most enduring landmarks in Kota Kinabalu, it stands prominently on a bluff along Signal Hill Road adjacent to the old Police Station. Built in 1903, this all-wood, no-nails structure was built in memory of Francis George Atkinson - the popular first District Officer of Jesselton during the British North Borneo Chartered Company Administration, who had succumbed to a tropical disease at the young age of 28.
This Clock Tower has the distinction of being the oldest standing structure in the whole of Sabah that survived the destruction of Jesselton town during World War II. Till today, it still serves to keep the city's time.
