Hastings Clock Tower, Art Deco clock tower in Hastings Central, New Zealand
The Hastings Clock Tower stands as a central architectural element in the business district, featuring geometric patterns and decorative details characteristic of 1930s design.
Constructed in 1935 following the Hawke's Bay earthquake of 1931, the clock tower cost £1,126 and incorporated chimes from the destroyed Hastings Post Office.
The structure displays the Borough of Hastings coat of arms above its main door, with brass plaques listing 98 earthquake victims added in 1995.
Located at the intersection of main streets in Hastings Central, the clock tower provides seating around its base and serves as a meeting point.
The clock mechanism, sourced from W. Littlejohns and Co. Ltd. in Wellington, maintains its original quarter-hour chimes from the former post office.
