.jpg) Victorian Clock Tower10' x 10' x 32' (L x W x H) The Victorian Clock Tower was designed to display a giant historic clock, an E. Howard Company #3 in the collection of the Sanfilippo Foundation in Barrington Hills, IL. The tower combines more than 11 tons of hand forged elements, castings, stampings, ornamental and structural steel. It was designed for the owner by architect Lee Pharr. Decorative pressed steel sheet used in the tower’s capitals and cornices came from the W.F. Norman Company’s 1909 “Hi-Art” catalog still available today. Six other specialty services and suppliers provided parts and pieces for the project. The tower was assembled in eight sections including three upper frames, four column assemblies and the base. |
