The historic Paco Train Station iconic old clock stopping does not erase the history of the building it is part of. While the clock's function as a timekeeping device may be interrupted, the building's historical significance, architectural details, and past events remain. Paco Train Station, originally built in 1915, served as a grand neoclassical terminus for the Manila Railroad's Main Line South. Designed by William E. Parsons, it was part of the Manila Belt Line and the now-defunct Cavite Line. The station, partly demolished in the 1990s to make way for a mall, still retains its iconic facade.
