New Jersey Ferry Terminal Clock Tower, Hoboken, NJBilled as "The Historic Replication of the Decade" - Campbellsville Industries has returned the famous 225' Hoboken clock tower to the New Jersey Ferry Terminal on the waterfront of the Hudson River, where it was originally constructed 100 years ago. The project has also garnered Campbellsville Industries a 2008 Merit Award for Excellence in Architecture by the New Jersey Chapter of AIA. The Ferry Terminal is located across the river from Manhattan. The clock tower is part of a 100-year anniversary of the birth of one of the most renowned transportation centers in the United States. This clock tower is the largest prefabricated clock tower in the world and is designed to withstand 120 mph winds. Phase 1 and Phase 2, included the window and clock section of the tower, and Phase 3 includes the open belfry and and hipped roof with finial - all clad in 20 oz. copper left in its natural state to age to a green patina to match the copper on the terminal building below the tower. The four clock dials are 12 ft. diameter and are backlit at night. The "open" belfry actually is enclosed with bird netting inset in copper frames. The 4 ft. high vertical copper letters spell out the word "Lackawanna", and are illuminated by fiber optic lighting. Click on the photo for more images of the installation of this phase. Campbellsville is working with Hall Construction Company, Tishman Construction Company, and the architectural firm of Beyer-Blender-Belle. The architect is George Beckwith. We congratulate the New Jersey Transit authority and the local officials who have returned one of America's vanishing cultural and architectural resources for this generation and for future generations to come.
