  • The Construction of Modern Timekeeping
    THE CONSTRUCTION OF MODERN TIMEKEEPING THE CONSTRUCTION OF MODERN TIMEKEEPING IN THE ANGLO-AMERICAN WORLD, 1876-1913 BY SCOTT JOHNSTON, B.A. (Hons.), M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Scott Johnston, July 2018 McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2018) Hamilton, Ontario (History) TITLE: The Construction of Modern Timekeeping in the Anglo-American World, 1876- 1913 AUTHOR: Scott Johnston, B.A. (Hons.) (Brock University), M.A. (University of Waterloo) SUPERVISOR: Professor S. Heathorn NUMBER OF PAGES: x, 351 ii Lay Abstract This dissertation asks why the system of time measurement set up towards the end of the nineteenth century took the form that it did. While partially dependent on new technologies such as railways and telegraphs, timekeeping was shaped more directly by the cultural context of the individuals involved. The dissertation uses the 1884 International Meridian Conference as a case study to suggest that time reform was driven by professional norms more than by national interest or changes in technology. Astronomers and engineers came to the conference with very different visions for modern timekeeping. Indeed, questions about the very nature of accurate time was at the heart of the debate: was time a public good, a commodity, or a specialized tool? The answers to these questions depended heavily on one’s profession, and as a result the standard time system that emerged was far from inevitable, and in fact remained incomplete. iii Abstract This dissertation asks why the system of time measurement set up towards the end of the nineteenth century took the form that it did.

Moreover, the home is located on the shores of Lake Erie.

Architectural Significance/Description: This brick, square, Italianate residence is very unique. The most obvious feature, that sets it apart from other buildings in Chatham-Kent, is its large five front window cupola. The cupola would have given Hill an excellent vantage point of Lake Erie from his residence. Other interesting details include the side by side twin chimneys, wooden brackets, and brick work around the entrance.
