The House of a Thousand Clocks

More and more frequently as of late, I've been going to a location in trance/astral states, "The House of a Thousand Clocks," a large disembodied house in which every surface of every wall is covered in every kind of clock imaginable. I've been using this space as a 32th path/Saturnian gateway. I've also discovered that while there, I can summon (cordially) almost any single dead person I want to speak with.

Anyhoo...

I feel like this place is something that I've seen before in fiction or myth... but I can't pin it down. Anyone know of a place where this image has popped up before? Or, has anyone dealt with a similar place in their various magicks?

Okay, in one of the picture puzzle books "Where's Waldo?" there is a page that is a cut-away view of a building, and the walls of every hallway are covered with clocks.

I don't remember which Waldo book it was, but it was one of them. Sorry, that's all I came up with.

Pink Floyd?
There are a couple songs (Bike off the first album and I dunno what off Dark Side of the Moon) with the *sounds* of a room made of clocks.

How about this, a link to a fictional place from an obscure Neil Gaiman book.

(The book is called A Walking Tour of the Shambles, and it's quite excellent.)
