   Why is there a steam clock in Gastown?

   • The steam clock in Vancouver's Gastown district was built in 1977 although it looks older. It was built to cover a steam grate, part of Vancouver's distributed steam heating system, as a way to harness the steam and a means of masking Central Heat's sidewalk steam vent at the corner of Water Street and Cambie Street.
