Moll's Clock: A Downtown Timepiece

Moll's Clock, a charming four-faced street clock, graces the area near Laclede's Landing in St. Louis. This timepiece isn't just a functional object; it's a piece of the city's history, rescued and restored for public enjoyment.Originally, the clock stood in front of Moll's grocer at Delmar and DeBaliviere. As the DeBaliviere strip declined, the corner where Moll's was located faced demolition. Fortunately, the clock was saved from destruction and relocated to its current spot near the Mississippi River. The St. Louis Street Clock Company meticulously restored it.While its location next to the raised highway might seem a bit awkward, the clock offers a unique photo opportunity with the Gateway Arch in the background. Though some have noted that the clock sometimes displays the incorrect time, its beauty and historical significance make it a worthwhile stop for those exploring downtown St. Louis. It serves as a reminder of the city's past and the importance of preserving historical elements.
