The original Waldorf-Astoria was demolished in 1929 to make space for the Empire State Building. The clock became a focal point within the original Waldorf-Astoria on Fifth Avenue, where it was located in front of the Rose Room restaurant. The original clock did not have the gilded Statue of Liberty miniature crowning it; this arrived in 1902 as a gift to Astor from French government officials soon after he purchased the clock. It is doubly remarkable in that the clock is powered by an electric movement, though to be fair progressive technology was an overwhelming theme at that edition of the World's Fair. Also, the clock originally was outfitted with gold-plated silver figurines that revolved around the platform between the bust and clock levels when chiming was on.
