Located on Main Street in front of the old Eagle Emporium/Zion National Bank Building.
Legend has it that it was brought to SLC around 1873 in a wagon pulled by a team of oxen. At the time, City Creek ran nearby and a diversion trench was built to run a water wheel that operated the clock. It is listed on the Utah and National Historic Registries.

This Sunday we had a short walk through the park. I took several pictures (most of them completely worthless).
I like this one. That strange, rusty thing is a water clock. At the moment it is not working, that is why the birds are standing over it. The "clock" face is on the other side of the structure.
This must be pretty old. At least, I remember it from my childhood, so probably its older than me.

The astronomical clock in Prague is a very complicated clock on the wall of the old town hall, showing all things like the moon phase, the zodiac signs ....
Model S5E, 1948. Deco shelf or desk clock. This model was designed by Max Schlenker, Westclox's inhouse designer, in 1941 but did not enter production until 1948. Case is made of brown plastic. Face has twin gold colored bezels, and the numbers are etched into the plastic ring and painted the same color as the case.
I got this at urban ore for like $15, cleaned and fixed it up and it works nicely. Sweep second hand, glass over the front. Michi eat your heart out!
notice the beautiful CCTV camera. New report came out, says Londoners are captured 300 times a day by CCTV.
Have had one of those days. Couldn't wait to get home, close the door to the world, spend some time with my girls, get them to bed and open the wine.
