View in Manitou Springs, Colorado, of the Wheeler Clock and environs, looking west. The clock was donated by Jerome Wheeler to the town of Manitou Springs to commemorate the opening of the Manitou Mineral Water Bottling Company in 1890. Made of cast iron, the top of the clock is adorned with a statue of the Greek goddess of health, Hygiea, holding a globe. The clock is box shaped with Roman numerals; bas-relief flourishes surround the face and fill cartouches on the square column; the lower part features dolphin head fountains under arches with bowls, and a stone foundation is at the base. The clock is painted white with black trim. Wires or cables extend from the clock; power poles and trees are along Canon Avenue.
