FOUNDRY CLOCK MAN
The successful reimagination of The Foundry Campus represents one of the largest historical preservation projects ever undertaken in Rhode Island and the first mixed-use campus of its kind in the state. As a result, the project has received a number of distinctions – the complex formerly occupied by Brown & Sharpe was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. Antonio Guerra, a pioneer in the field of historic preservation who oversaw the complex’s transformation into what is now known as Foundry Offices and Promenade Apartments, was honored with the Providence Preservation Society’s Community Preservation Award in 2014. Today, over 50 companies and 500+ residents work and live in these historic buildings.
The completion of The Foundry Campus’ transformation was celebrated in 2017 with the installation of the “Foundry Clock Man,” a sculpture depicting an industrial-era worker pushing an oversized vintage clock, atop 25 Holden Street (The Sharpe Building) within Promenade Apartments. Clearly visible from Interstate 95, which is traversed by approximately 225,000 vehicles per day. The Clock Man was designed by world-renowned artist, RISD graduate, and RI native, Peter Diepenbrock. A tribute to Providence’s industrial past and to one of the first products produced by Brown & Sharpe, clocks.
The sculpture also celebrates the completion of the restoration and renovation of the last of 13 mill buildings on the Foundry’s 26-acre campus, which has been under the ownership of the Guerra family for over 50 years. The Foundry Clock Man has become an iconic work that serves as a beacon to all coming in and out of Providence.
