In 1997, Swan Street’s Dimmeys clock tower and globe was ranked first in The Age newspaper's 'Melbourne Icons' series. The clock tower was painted yellow and black in 1981 to mark the 350th AFL game of Richmond footballer Kevin Bartlett, and a famous mural depicting Dimmeys Gold Rush founding and the history of the store became a clarion call for locals when the site was redeveloped in 2008. The famous clock tower and mural survived redevelopment and have been carefully preserved.
