The Old Brown Street Clock is a Helena Historical Icon.

This lovely historical timepiece rests on a fluted pillar  that rises 14 feet above the sidewalk.  In the beginning the clock was owned by a resident of Rimini, in 1940 he discarded it on an old scrap pile behind his house. Bill Brown of Helena Hardware then acquired the timepiece and eventually restored it.

The clock  was created by the Brown Street Clock Company in  Pennsylvania sometime around 1913.  It stands at more than 14 feet tall with a galvanized steel base and weighs more than 1200 pounds.  The clock in its heyday would sell anywhere from $500-700.00.

The clock today sits in front of Sole Sisters store on the 300 block of North Last Chance Gulch and is great advertising for this unique Helena store.
