The '''Clocktower''' is a two-building industrial building in Grand Theft Auto IV. Located in [[BOABO]], [[Broker]], and fronting the [[Humboldt River]], the building can easily be spotted immediately south of the [[Algonquin Bridge]] by both its large rooftop ''CLOCKTOWER'' sign and functional digital clock. This meant the building is also visible to the right as the player drives across the bridge from [[Algonquin]] to Broker. Otherwise, the building is of little use in any part of the game | The '''Clocktower''' is a two-building industrial building in Grand Theft Auto IV.

The entire complex, including the sign, bears resemblance to [http://manufacturedfotos.com/new-york-city-2008/the-watchtower-in-brooklyn/ 25 Columbia Heights] (known for [http://www.z-mation.com/phpbb/files/ny_brooklyn_watchtower_sign_from_circle_line__112.jpg a similarly designed "Watchtower" sign]) in Brooklyn, New York City; in real-life, the building serves as a base of operation for the [[wp:Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.|Watchtower Bible and Tract Society]], an organization under Jehovah's Witnesses. The Clocktower building's in-game design, however, is scaled down and less modernized than its real-life counterpart. The orientation of the Clocktower's main building is also altered to face north when the Watchtower's faces west in real life. | The entire complex, including the sign, bears resemblance to [http://manufacturedfotos.com/new-york-city-2008/the-watchtower-in-brooklyn/ 25 Columbia Heights] (known for [http://www.z-mation.com/phpbb/files/ny_brooklyn_watchtower_sign_from_circle_line__112.jpg a similarly designed "Watchtower" sign]) in Brooklyn, New York City; in real-life, the building serves as a base of operation for the [[wp:Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.|Watchtower Bible and Tract Society]], an organization under Jehovah's Witnesses.
