A brass plate on the clockworks dates the clock at January 22, 1900. The bell tolled every hour and every half hour for fifty years. In 1929, hotel managers at the St. George and the Palomar complained to the City that the nightly tolling was preventing their guests from sleeping at night. The hour bell was allowed to run down and was not rewound. Many citizens protested the silencing of the Clock and in July 1933, the Odd Fellows found a satisfactory solution. The Clock once again tolled the hours, but only during the hours between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m.
