The neon used to be red/orange.

Pretty sure it had blue before from old photos on Instagram. There will be a tour of the building later this year.

After months of meticulous restoration, we are delighted to be in the final stages of the refurbishment of the Vancouver Block’s 112 year old clock and clock tower. Over the coming weeks, the scaffolding will be removed and the clocks’ hands reinstalled – with new energy-efficient LED lighting to replace the aging neon. Behind the scenes, prominent horologist Raymond Saunders of Landmark Clocks has been hard at work dismantling, cleaning, and refinishing the clocks’ motor with the diligent assistance of AllStar Waterproofing and Restoration Systems, who have been working on the tower’s façade rehabilitation and installation of the clocks’ new LED lighting.
