Waldorf=Astoria Hotel Pictures

The nine foot-tall, two-ton bronze clock was created for the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893 and was the centerpiece of the original Waldorf Hotel, which once stood where the Empire State Building is. When the hotel moved to its current location in 1931, the dramatic clock was relocated as well. The clock's Westminister chimes sound every 15 minutes.Waldorf=Astoria Hotel Profile
