Directions: From Ben Bridge, cross 4th. One minute walk.
Carroll's Jewelry was founded in Seattle in 1885. Here's a direct quote from the Carroll's website:
"In the year 1913, Thomas J. Carroll commissioned Joseph Mayer and Sons to create the magnificent clock standing outside our store and which has become a historical landmark of Seattle's downtown community.
"Our clock has been featured in the publication Historic America - The National Trust for Historic Preservation 1995 Engagement Calendar, amongst many other publications.
"Carroll's clock features a key-wound gravity driven pendulum movement visible at street level through the beveled glass side panels. The movement was manufactured by Howard and Company. The weight of our clock is estimated at 2 tons and is twenty feet in height. Winding of the clock movement is a weekly occurrence and a Monday morning tradition."
