Passage of time in QC...
pwhodges:
The two middle digits are clearly 9s; the last is ambiguous, but more likely 7. I'm presuming the calendar is a left-over from the building's previous use.

Notable events in 1797:
* British wrap up the conquest of French West Indies as part of the Napoleonic War, during which a certain rising star named Horatio Nelson comes to prominence;
* John Adams succeeds George Washington as President of the United States of America;
* The first cast-iron plow is patented (remembered by AIs as the stem point of their evolution?);
* The first ever senator to be impeached is removed from office.

Allow me to add a couple less centred on the US:
* Prussia, Austria and Russia sign and complete the Third Partition of Poland, dividing up the remains of Poland between them
* Napoleon conquers Venice, ending the Venetian Republic's millennium-long independence

The third digit might a 9, but the second very much looks like a seven to me.
pwhodges:
The second digit curls down more than a seven would, but the last could still be a seven. The third goes further still. The last has a curved and sloping downstroke, the others an upright one. I'm sure it's 1997!
Method of Madness:
I'm looking right at it and looks way more like a seven than a nine. A slightly curved seven, but still nothing like a nine. The third number looks more like a question mark than a nine or seven, really.
