Willie B. Clock Lit Up, Telling Time

January 17th, 2008 · No Comments

The clock in the old Williamsburgh Bank Tower, aka One Hanson, was turned on again yesterday at noon after a long absence. Presumably, it wasn’t an accident that it was returned to service on the same day that people started moving into one of the most prominent new developments in Brooklyn. The person who shot this photo wrote: “to see the tower working, lit up with the correct time on all sides was a thrill to me.” Welcome back.
