Look at the clock, there, centered inside one of the arches on the back wall of the bank's lobby.
 

I think it's the same clock that can be seen in this vintage photo. What do you think? The unusual clock face, what looks like brass Roman numerals and a brass ring around the edge of the clock face--they all match closely, as best I can tell from these two photos.

Time for Memories

I fell hard for that entrance, that Atlas sort of guy holding the clock, and that clock itself. So romantic. For a few moments I stood there, memories of my husband filling my mind, then I set off for the bus stop.
