Art Moderne Street Clock Missing

The Flaneur supposes one is one's senior citizenship when one dwells on lost things.







 These photos were taken last summer uptown at 17th Street in Oakland. 
Today the building has been refurbished and the clock is not there.
 Is it really lost though? 
Probably destined for some restaurant or at best the Museum.




 It's a kooky survival of Orientalist deco kitsch.
I was always delighted to see it still there over the years.

Theis shot are included for their documentary value 
alas, I can't seem to figure out how to post it vertically.
