Was it? It looked quite similar and I couldn't find anything about it online.

I've heard the same Clock Tower was used in movies in the past, but I'm not sure if this was one of them.

Yes, it is without a doubt the same clock tower.

It's still there on the Universal back lot. The facade of the building has changed a bit, the columns aren't there anymore, at least not as of Feb 2012, but the building exists as part of their main street USA set. If you take the Universal Studios Hollywood tour you'll go right past it.

Since it was 1960, you would think they might have sent a Second Unit to do some location shooting, for an opening shot anyway.
