Here are some pictures I took on the TCA Convention GCT tour on 6/25. Unfortunately, due to our group size we could only tour the public areas but it was still very informative.
Trivia question: Why is the clock in the GCT logo sign set for 7:13?

Where's Harry's new GCT Base unit?
Thanks for the photos Chris, very appropriate for us as it puts us in the mood to work on the model today.
The clock is set at 7:13 pm or 19:13, which is the year the station was built (1913).
Great photos Chris.

As a teenager, I worked summers for National Messenger Service which was located in the lower level of GCT. The old timers showed us shortcuts that weren't open to the public to avoid the street heat or rain. This was when the ceiling was tobacco smoke stained and the windows behind the Kodak billboard were painted. Glad to see the terminal is back in shape.

Great pics, thanks for sharing!
So for the clock logo thing, was it always that way, or was that only for logos initially developed a few years ago for the 100th anniversary?
I was aware of the clock setting based on some 100th anniversary items/logos, but I never paid much attention before that. Have logos always shown that time?
