The clocks are ticking again – literally – on the renovation of the iconic Masonic Lodge building at the corner of Fourth and San Benito streets in downtown Hollister.
Within the past week, the famed clocks above the busy intersection began keeping time again around the same time that city officials approved additional Redevelopment Agency funding for the renovation of the building, which dates back to 1907.
“The clocks are fixed,” announced Francis “Junior” Bishop, assistant secretary for the lodge. “We replaced the motors last week and right now we’re working on the inside, trying to moisture-proof it and seal it.”
Getting the clocks working again is just part of a renovation project designed to bring the building back to its former glory, including more of a brick facade, new awnings and a fresh coat of paint.
