No question, there is something suspended between those four corners and it has the same appearance as these photos. The color 2003 image is not quite as clear, probably due to the sun which causes the object (clock) to be too shiny to see any detail. Then comes a 2004 image, and there can be no doubt. The clock is gone.
Jumping to Google Earth historical imagery of the Terminal Market, the March 8, 2003 view shows the same shiny object that is on the NETR 2003 photo. But jump to the next image from December 30, 2003 and again it’s clear…the clock is gone. The awnings are still shown up to July 27, 2008, and are gone by June 5, 2009.
So sometime in 2003 the clock was remeoved. So they have had 10 years now to forget about the clock in some obscure corner of one of those buildings while it falls to the hands of time.

Good sleuthing belmont bob! I'm surprised the clock was still in place as recent as 2003. This give me some hope that it still exists somewhere on the property.
