Time and Temperature Building

The Time and Temperature Building, originally known as the Chapman Building, and officially 477 Congress Street, is a fourteen-story office building in downtown Portland, Maine. The building is named after a large three-sided four-element eggcrate display screen on the roof that flashes the local time and temperature. It was built in 1924 as a twelve-story building, with Maine's first indoor shopping center on its ground floor. It is located next door to the ten story Fidelity Trust Tower; until the 1970s, these buildings were Portland's only skyscrapers.
