This sidewalk clock, originally locared at 161-11 Jamaica Avenue,
is a fine example of a vanishing street amenity. Probably installed
on Jamaica Avenue around the turn of the century and
designated a New York City landmark in 1981, it is a double-
faced copper clock with a cast iron paneled base, fluted column
post, and a splendid acroteria motif crowning the clock face.
designated a New York City landmark in. 1981.
Installed on Union Hall Street, in 1989.
