What people say
Holly Baughman
"If you’re wandering the streets of Gastown you will probably come across this clock ⏰
As the name implies, it runs on steam! It’s actually one of the few left in the world.
Every 1/4 hour the clock chimes and blows out steam.
Warning: unless you go at an “off time” you’ll be bound to see a crowd of people trying to get a photo."

"10 AM - Explore the Gastown neighborhood and check out one of the few working steam clocks in the world. The clock supposedly sounds every 15 minutes. We went late at night and saw some steam coming from the clock, but didn't hear anything special at the 15-minute mark "

"This iconic landmark was built in 1977 and is located in Gastown at the corner of Cambie and Water streets. The clock produces a puff of steam on the hour and whistles to produce the Westminster “chime” and to signal the time."
