The Time and Temperature Building, originally known as the Chapman Building, and officially 477 Congress Street, is a 14-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 12-story building, with Maine's first indoor shopping center on its ground floor. It sits next to the 10-story Fidelity Trust Building. Until the 1970s, these buildings were Portland's only skyscrapers. Read more on Wikipedia
