The present structure was designed in 1892 by A. Page Brown, a New York architect who had started with McKim, Mead and White, and later moved to California. Influenced by studies at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, he designed the clock tower after the 12th-century Giralda bell tower in Seville, Spain.

The original clock mechanism was refurbished in 2000; it is complete and intact, despite two previous modifications. The Ferry Building has its original Special #4 clock made in 1898 by the Boston clock maker E. Howard. It is the largest wind-up, mechanical dial clock in the world. The four dials are each twenty-two feet in diameter, and a portion of the dial appears to be back-lit at night. This is the effect of two concentric dials on each clock face, in which the inner dial is lit and visible at night.

"At about 4 p.m. Saturday, Lincoln Fire and Rescue Services was called to a structure fire on Locust Lane in Beamsville.
First arriving apparatus encountered heavy smoke and fire coming from a detached garage with significant fire extension into the rear of the home.
Due to the location of the fire being far away from the nearest fire hydrant, a tanker shuttle brought water to the scene. It took roughly 2.5 hours to bring the fire under control.
No one was reportedly home at the time of the fire.
Mutual aid assistance responded from Grimsby and West Lincoln fire departments."

I was told that this structure was the loco workshops. But with my limited experience, I would say that it isn't. But I did find a room fall of old tools.
Friday, April 14, 2023 in Beamsville (Lincoln), ON.
Lincoln Fire Rescue responded with mutual aid from Pelham and Grimsby to this incident.
"An early morning blaze on Friday devastated an apple processing plant in Beamsville widely known for its gourmet apples.
After hours of battling the blaze that began at about 3 a.m. at Moyer’s Apple Products Ltd. on Christie Drive, Niagara West Fire and Emergency Services Chief Greg Hudson said firefighters remained at the scene throughout most of Friday.
Hudson said Moyer’s Apples Products Ltd. is a relatively large company, shipping products all over North America including the gourmet candy apples it produces.
'They have some pretty large customers in the States and all over Canada,' he said. 'They’re a big deal.'
Fire and smoke could be seen from the fire station more than a kilometre away as firefighters responded to the fully-involved fire in the industrial building.
'The fire was coming out through the roof already, before we even got here,' he said. 'The challenge was just getting in and just getting at the fire inside.'
The walls of the structure were also starting to lean inwards, 'so we didn’t want to put anyone in the building for firefighter safety reasons,' Hudson said."
The fire was declared under control approximately 12 hours after firefighters had first arrived on scene - at 2:46 pm. Heavy machinery was brought in to tear down the metal walls to access the fire inside (occurred after I left the scene).

The larger piece is both the bottom of the superstructure and the front panel, not yet cut off. The smaller piece will be the top of the superstructure, in two parts for a hinged access panel.
