.jpg) Gothic Revival Clock Tower8' x 8' x 20' (L x W x H) The tower displays an historic clock that served for many years in the steeple of St. Michael’s Church in Rochester, NY. The clockworks rest on an elegantly painted chassis in the base of the tower. Clock enthusiasts recognize it as an E. Howard Company #2 Tower Clock. The design concept was a collaboration between architect/designer Lee Pharr, clock specialist Durward Center and the owner of the clock. Lee Badger was commissioned to bring the design into reality. Constructing the tower was an exercise in creative collaboration and metal working versatility. The greatest challenges during construction were managing a multitude of details and combining a diversity of iron working processes. |
