SIGNED BY MARC BOILEAU on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Soon after Confederation, a new skyscraper began to compete for exposure with the spires, cisterns and silos in the rural skylines of Canada. The monumental federal building complete with a tower and clock emerged. This book documents a national trend in Towers of Time architectural styles. The construction of public buildings is invariably charged with politics and few of these buildings were constructed without some controversy. From the details of the Twisted Sisters of Arnprior and Napanee or the Spirits of Galt and Guelph's Dwarf to the Stone of Triplets of Deseronto, Midland and Whitby, in Towers of Time you will find anecdotes of the debates, the local contractors and builders, construction follies and tales of timepiece intrigue and destruction.
