The Signal Tower in Signal Hill Garden, Blackhead Point, Tsim Sha Tsui, was built in 1907 by the Hong Kong Observatory to house a time-ball apparatus moved from the Round House of the Former Marine Police Headquarters. It was one of two buildings used to signal accurate time to mariners and the public. The time ball ran from 8 January 1908 to 30 June 1933; from 1908 to 1920 a six-foot hollow copper ball was winched daily and released at 1 pm, later dropping twice a day at 10 am and 4 pm. Originally 42 feet high, it gained about 20 feet in 1927. Built in a heavy Classical Baroque style, it mixes red brick, lighter stone, chamfered corners, English Bond brickwork and carved granite. Declared a monument in 2015.
