Gastown, Home of the Steam Clock

Just east of the Waterfront Station is historic Gastown. At Cambie and Water Street is the famous Steam Clock. The clock is fully steam powered and the steam also provides the Westminster sound marking the time. Although it appears much older, this clock was built in 1977 to cover an exposed steam grate.
