The Ayres Clock and Cherub are two of the building's most iconic elements. The clock was completed in 1936. Sitting almost 29 feet off the ground, the clock and its supporting brackets weigh 10,000 pounds. The bronze cherub, perched atop the clock during the winter holiday season, debuted in 1947 to celebrate the store's 75th anniversary.
