The O'Hara Waltham Dial Company was a historic factory building at 74 Rumford Avenue in Waltham, Massachusetts. The three story brick structure was built in 1897 by Daniel O'Hara, and housed his company, a spinoff from the Waltham Watch Company which specialized in the manufacture of a variety of clock faces. The building had distinctive corner towers with panelled brick surfaces, although these are a later (early 1900s) addition. O'Hara's company operated until the late 1950s; the facility was then used in the manufacture of traffic signals and luggage.^[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.^[1]

On April 5th, 2019 the city of Waltham issued a Notice of Unsafe Structure for the building. On June 12th, 2019 it was decided that the building is beyond repair and must be demolished.
