Gastown Steam Clock

The Gastown Steam Clock, one of Vancouver's most iconic landmarks, was unveiled in 1977 as part of Gastown's revitalization. Not merely decorative, this clock is a union of 19th-century aesthetics and modern engineering. Crafted by Canadian horologist Raymond Saunders and metalwork artist Doug Smith, it stands as a testament to communal effort—local storeowners and private donors raised $58,000 to bring this unique timepiece to life and in so doing, bring life back to Gastown. While not fully powered by steam, its whistles and steam vents activate every 15 minutes, delighting passersby. Two electric motors control its hands, while a mini-steam engine keeps time and powers the auditory elements, including its famous Westminster chimes. Maintenance of this intricate machinery has its challenges, yet the clock's occasional repairs have not diminished its allure. Serving as an allegory for Gastown itself—a blend of history and modernity—the Gastown Steam Clock continues to captivate and tell the story of a city that values both its past and its evolving future.
