World's Tallest Thermometer, Electric thermometer structure in Baker, California, United States.
The steel thermometer rises 134 feet into the sky, displaying temperatures through its digital lights visible from Interstate 15 in the Mojave Desert.
Local businessman Willis Herron invested 700,000 dollars to construct this thermometer in 1991, commemorating Death Valley's record temperature of 134 degrees Fahrenheit.
The thermometer represents a classic example of American roadside architecture, drawing travelers to stop and explore the small desert community.
Visitors find parking spaces, a gift shop, and electric vehicle charging stations at the base of the thermometer, making it a convenient rest stop.
The structure required reinforcement with concrete inside its steel core after strong desert winds caused light bulbs to pop out during severe weather.
