Guest daytona Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I have been contacted to do a site visit at the old Studebaker building in the Manhattenville section of NYC. My company restores and installs large tower and outdoor clocks. The tower on the building looks like it could have had 4 clocks installed at one time as there are center holes already bored thru the walls for the hand shafts. There are no numerals and its hard to tell if it ever had them from the pictures that I have seen. Is it possible that the plans called for the clocks but they were never installed, or did it have them but were removed years ago??If anyone has info on this please post here or contact me directly at martin@abouttimect.com.I'll post some pictures when I do the site visit, thanks.Martin Cooke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Ash Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 It's not clear that there ever was a clock installed on the tower. See http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/pdf/env_review/manhattanville/08.pdfIt's the perfect location for a large clock. Maybe one was planned and never installed.
