The Giant Chair Tour
Admire the art and sit in a giant red adirondack chair that is part of Clinton’s #GiantChairTour!
Original Mural “PUC History” by Bob Simpson
The Public Utilities Commission (PUC) was responsible for the operation of Clinton’s hydro, water & sewer systems. It began in 1913 and operated out of the corner of Albert St & Park Lane. In the 1920’s, the PUC moved to the corner of Albert St & Rattenbury St (now Godfather’s). In 1959, The PUC purchased the property at 17 Park Lane (located across the street from this mural). A new administrative office, workshop & truck bay building was constructed. The building was a public office where people came to pay their utility bills and received information related to the utilities in town.
Eventually, the PUC disbanded and utilities were taken over by the Municipality of Central Huron. The former Public Utilities Commission building was demolished in 2022 (photo included). The building had deteriorated to the point of being deemed unsafe, and a new Water & Sewer Work Center was constructed on the same site.
Restored Mural “Know Your Water” by Abi Bos
This mural was painted over the former work created by Bob Simpson. The mural is adjusted to the new age in 2023. Abi Bos of Erratic Art World created the new mural covering the former one that features a new highlight, while still incorporating the well and water tower that were once there.
