The charming clock pictured above was outside the
store of “Henry Dehnel, The Leading Jeweler” on Sandusky’s Columbus Avenue. The
scene is a parade which took place in downtown Sandusky about 1905, and the
view was facing north towards Sandusky Bay.
In the late 1890s, Jacob Kronthal
gave away a small clock that was set inside a figurine. The store was
in a variety of different locations, but at the time this promotional item was
given away, Jacob Kronthal’s men’s clothing store was at 705 Water Street:
When Citizens Bank was located in the
Feick Building, this clock was in front of the Bank on Market Street:
In 1992, the clock was moved to the corner of Water
and Wayne Streets, opposite Civista Bank.
Always a popular spot for taking pictures, this
snapshot of Sandusky’s floral clock was taken on June 18, 1988.
If you are in Washington Parks in downtown Sandusky,
you can always just look up at the Courthouse to see yet another clock.

It was fun to see all the town clocks. A mid-sized town, St. Johns, Michigan, had a lot of town clocks when I was little, too. I doubt they do any more. Like most towns and cities, things got modernized. ;)
