Well, if you substitute 'a' with 'many' then the answer is yes

Here is a link to a Ghost Town that has a lot of history to it and a neat place to photograph... This is the closest I can come to on history so far...

Blinky · 02-04-2006

I live in one of those quaint little towns where they sell antiques... Dc2

.
Anyway, Hillsborough is pretty old for an American town and we have this old clock, English made, 18th century. I'm lucky enough to be one of the people who take turns winding it each week. So here's the closest thing I got to history...

This is the outside at sunset...

This is inside the tower looking up at the drive weights and pendulum, the clock is mounted on the floor directly overhead..

Space is tight up there and my widest lens was a 24mm (dx sensor) so this is the best I have of the whole mechanism...

Light was also pretty sparse and I had only a piece of foil faced poster board as a reflector. Because it was flimsy, it cast an interesting, sort of mottled light spread...

Last one, this is one of the four synchronized drives that move the hands. The faces are about six feet in diameter...

As long as the West applies, how about this hand-drawn fire engine from 1859? I am told that it still works, though it needs a bit of maintenance.

Text on plaque reads:

FIRE HOUSE No. 1
1854

In this building erected in October 1854 was Shaw ans Brown's Grocery until superceded by Wheeler Bros. in april 1857. Partially demolished by a gunpowder explosion in the Fire of 1857, it was rebuilt in March 1861. The town of Columbia purchased it for the permanent home of the Tuolomne County Engine Co. No. 1 and their hand pumper "Papeete" brought from San Francisco two years before.

Thats neat
I can just picture one of those really old movies where a bunch of guys are dragging it through.
the streets.
Thanks for adding to this

scoundrel1728 · 02-06-2006

Another shot, taken at the same time... (Really had to squeeze things to come in under the physical and file size limits and still show enough detail to give a proper flavor of the original.)
