Time and Temperature Building, Art Deco office building in downtown Portland, United States.
The 14-story structure at 477 Congress Street features a three-sided digital display screen that indicates local time and temperature to pedestrians and motorists.
Built in 1924 as the Chapman Building, the edifice included Maine's first indoor shopping center and expanded from 12 to 14 floors during the 1960s renovation.
The rooftop sign serves as a central information point for Portland residents, displaying time, temperature, and community messages visible throughout the downtown area.
The building underwent a $9.3 million sale in 2018 to TT Maine Venture, which plans to convert the office spaces into a 186-room hotel.
Maine legislators created a specific exemption in 1991 to allow this building's electronic sign to operate despite state regulations against flashing highway-visible displays.
