History

One of the most beloved monuments in the parks of New York City, this musical clock hovers above the arcade between the Wildlife Center and the Children's Zoo. A gift of publisher and philanthropist George T. Delacorte (1894–1991), it was dedicated in 1965.

Delacorte, whose many gifts to the City of New York include the Alice in Wonderland statue (1959) and the Delacorte Theater (1962) in Central Park as well as fountains in Bowling Green Park (1977) and Columbus Circle (1965), conceived of the clock as a modern version of belfries in churches and city halls dating back to the Middle Ages.

Designer Fernando Texidor collaborated with architect Edward Coe Embury (son of the 1934 zoo’s designer, Aymar Embury II) to create a brick arcaded bridge between the Monkey House (now the Zoo School) and the main Central Park Zoo quadrangle to house the clock and its animal sculpture carousel. Italian sculptor Andrea Spadini (1912–1983) crafted the whimsical bronze sculptures, which depict a penguin, kangaroo, bear, elephant, goat, and hippo parading with a variety of musical instruments as well as two monkeys with mallets that strike the bell.

Each day between eight in the morning and six in the evening, the clock--now digitally programmed--plays one of thirty-two nursery rhyme tunes on the hour. On the half-hour, the mechanical performance is a bit shorter. The animals rotate on a track around the clock and each also turns on an axis. On June 24, 1965, the clock was officially unveiled before a large crowd of spectators and dignitaries, including Parks Commissioner Newbold Morris, former Parks Commissioner Robert Moses, and Manhattan Borough President Constance Watley.

In 1995, the Central Park Conservancy supervised a restoration of the clock and sculptures, financed through an endowment established by the family of Mr. Delacorte in 1993.

The Clock Tower at the edge of the old city in Tripoli, a popular place for the men folk to sit out and have a coffee and chat in the evenings. This cultural crossroads contains many people from many people from sub-Saharan Africa, in addition to its indigenous and mostly Arab population, plus workers from Europe, the Middle East and increasingly the Far East. Its heritage and buildings display some of these many influences, especially near here where the legacy of past colonial times are visible in both Italian style structures and nearby Ottoman Turkish-type dwellings.

Clock on University Hall on the campus of Friends University in Wichita Kansas. Built in 1886-1888 for the new Garfield University. After years of financial difficulty, James M. Davis of St. Louis purchased the building in 1898 as a gift to the Kansas Society of Friends under the condition that the city of Wichita would donate land for a university. The structure is named for him. It is the largest of the public buildings designed by Proudfoot and Bird.

National Register #71000328. Added in 1971.
