Since 1923, the clock tower of the McPhee and McGinnity Building (also known as the Styro Building) has been a landmark at the corner of Broadway and Walnut in Denver. Though once part of a thriving industrial area, the neighborhood and the building had fallen on hard times. After twenty years of abandonment plans are now underway to convert the structure into housing, reflecting the upbeat attitude found in the newly proposed Ballpark Historic District. With the sponsorship of Historic Denver, several partners secured a State Historical Fund grant to restore exterior features of the building, including the clock tower. Exterior masonry will be repaired, the domed metal roof will be restored and the clock will be returned to operation. (BY LYLE MILLER, State Historical Fund Technical Advisor
