The interior of the gargoyles' home was accessible from the building below by a pull-down service ladder in a broom closet. Thus, there were times when the clocks were working and there were times when they were broken down. Lexington not only managed to repair the fridge, but also tinkered constantly with the massive clock itself. An old recliner and a broken refrigerator were found and brought in by air. Elisa brought the gargoyles a television set and a video game and they also acquired a hotplate, a laptop computer and many books and videos. The Tower was already equipped with a small utility-style bathroom and electricity. They soon made the Tower a comfortable residence. Eventually, she convinced Goliath and the other gargoyles to leave their ancestral home at Castle Wyvern (which was now atop the Eyrie Building) and move into the Clock Tower. Their friend, Elisa Maza, had investigated the Clock Tower and found it to be a perfect new home for the clan. In early 1995, the Manhattan Clan needed a new home. The Clock Tower itself is a massive Gothic structure with four huge clocks (one facing each direction) and topped by a huge spire.
The Civic Center below the Clock Tower contains city hall, a local power station, a public library and the local police station (the 23rd Precinct house).
The Clock Tower is a tower located above the 23rd Precinct where the Manhattan Clan resided after beginning their feud with Xanatos.
