Historic Street Clock Washington Street

[Electric Time Company]

Thought this group might find these photographs of two clocks on Washington Street in Boston interesting.

These are the only photographs (rendering) I've ever found of these clocks - you can see the bracket clock located above the 383 address on the building.

We just made a new street clock at this location for the Jeweler's building.

E. Howard Watch & Clock was a Roxbury institution. They specialized in both watches and in church clocks and this sort of commercial clocks as well. There's a Howard st in Roxbury near the site of the old factory.
