Quincy bell tower restoration nearly complete

“The clock is in above average condition, principally because it has had routine inspections throughout the decades,” clock restorer and Quincy resident Lester Tyrala said. “It will be decades before it needs anything of a major renovations. The clock is approximately 140 years old, and the amount of wear on it is normal and pretty minimal. If we project this current rate of wear, it’ll be good for another 150 years.”
