SPRINGFIELD — The hour has come to celebrate the restoration the historic turret clock on the Masonic Building at 113-115 State St.
Springfield officials, developer McCaffery Interests, the Springfield Redevelopment Authority, Consigli Construction Co., Inc., and About Time Restorations LLC, teamed up to bring this historic and significant clock back to life and telling time. The city hosted a light-up ceremony Friday.
McCaffery Interests, a Chicago-based developer, is spearheading the $70-million Main Street Development stretching south from State Street across Main Street from MGM.
“The clock has had a role in formulating the City’s cultural identity and its majestic return will serve a catalyst for public engagement around all the redevelopment activities that are advancing in the State & Main Historic District,” Mayor Dominic J. Sarno said in a statement.
Constructed in 1893 by F. R. Richmond as the Masonic Building in the Richardsonian Romanesque Style, the Clock Tower building is described as an icon of the Springfield skyline.
