Downtown Austin

I arrive in Austin for the Great American Eclipse on April 8, 2024. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. I have a few days here, so my first stop will be downtown. A lot going on here today, and is quite busy in anticipation of the eclipse. Will also visit South Congress Street later.

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.
