DID YOU KNOW? The Birks Clock was built by E. Howard & Co. of Boston in 1906 and was originally installed at Granville and Hastings in front of George Trorey's jewellery store to celebrate his fifth year in business. In 1907, another jewellery retailer, Birks, purchased Trorey's business and the clock.
