Church? Or campus clock tower? Where is it? The tower has both a bell or bells and a clock.
It was the Congregational Church on NYS Highway 12, aka Main St. in Sherburne, NY.
Now it is referred to as the Sherburne United Church of Christ.

Found this with the help of the Civil War Monument.
The monument is located at the intersection of NYS Highways 12 and 80 in Sherburne, NY.
It was donated to the village of Sherburne by Dr. Devillo White in 1881.
He died in 1882 leaving a fortune of about $500,000.
You can see a sketch of Dr. White and read about his life at the link below.
