Built in 1977 by Raymond Saunders and Doug Smith. One of just 7 working steam clocks in the world. ..the whistle is steam, the clockworks are electric. It is believed to be just the 2nd steam clock ever constructed. It was placed over a steam grate... to keep homeless from sleeping on the warm spot. ... as underneath there runs a series of steam pipes connected to a generating plant at Georgia and Beatty Streets. The system provides heat to most of the downtown core....as well as the steam for the whistles of this clock.

I was born and raised in Huntsville, Ontario and moved to Ottawa as a young adult. Married for more than 50 years now; 3 sons, 3 daughter-in-laws, 6 grandsons and 4 granddaughters! As a young girl I remember receiving a paint-by-number for Christmas one year and spent almost every free moment working at it until it was completed...and of course that was on the top of the list the following year. It wasn't until some 5 decades later that I began taking some tole painting classes at night school. My real excitement for painting began the first time I tried to paint from a photo of our two grandsons ... I was so thrilled to see it actually looked like them (well, from behind...no faces involved)...I haven't really stopped working at it...
