  • Manitou Town Clock, Manitou Springs, Colorado (Used with permission ©2022 Dave Wolverton)

In the triangular plaza that marks the Y intersection of Manitou and Cañon avenues, Jerome Wheeler installed this cast iron clock to commemorate completion of the now-razed Manitou Mineral Water Bottling Company. The four-faced clock, topped by a statue of Hygeia, daughter of Aesculapius, god of medicine, was restored in 1991.
