Architect Scott Harmon said developers have closed on the historic corner building in downtown's Five Points, which Harmon's Center Studio Architecture and its partners bought from the city.
The clock, added to the building in the 1980s, "is not long for this world," Harmon said recently. "I expect it to be gone in a week."
A Dumpster outside is the only clue to the renovation that awaits. When completed in about six months, the plan is to carve the two buildings on the property into four ground-level storefronts and three condo units on the second floor."
