The clock tower was designed by the British architect Sir George Gilbert Scott.

The construction work of the clock tower started in 1869 and was completed in 1878 at a cost of Rs.2 lakhs.

Mr. Premchand Roychand, the founder of the Bombay Stock Exchange (B.S.E.), paid the entire sum from his pocket on the condition that the clock tower be named after his mother Rajabai.
