Kimball Building/Chicago

[sam]

Does anyone have any info on the Kimball building in Chicago?
Photos,Postcards,etc,etc. It had a E. Howard Tower Clock in it.
It's probably been demolished by now but would like info anyway.

Ralph,

Thanks for the photos.
Sorry for the late reply, been on travel.

Take a look at these photos of the Kimball building and E Howard Tower Clocks with electric rewind.
Sure would like to locate some of gearboxes that are shown under the clocks.
