The recently renovated clock tower at the Port of Los Angeles, a mid-20th century landmark, has undergone significant upgrades including a state-of-the-art LED lighting system that allows it to change colors, enhancing its visibility and appeal. Standing 100 feet tall at the entry of the port’s West Basin in Wilmington, the clock tower, originally constructed in 1950, was restored through a $2.7 million project that began in 2021. The upgrades included repairs to structural wear and water damage, installation of a new facade, and a modern sound system. Port officials highlight that the newly illuminated tower will serve as a beacon for both residents and visitors, reflecting the port’s rich history and coordinating with various city events. The clock tower, while not an official landmark, has received honorable mention in the landmark category, and its revitalization is expected to draw renewed attention from both maritime crews and those onshore.
