Facts
This building was originally designed to be much taller; however, it was scaled back due to the depression.
The beacon on top of the building (added in 1951) reports temperature and weather conditions through a system of coloured and flashing lights.
Weather code for the beacon signals: Green = clear weather, red = cloudy weather, flashing white = snow, flashing red = rain.
Weather code for the beacon tower lights: Running up = warmer temperature, running down = cooler temperature, steady = no change.
Forecast period for the beacon signals and the beacon tower lights: Day signals for the rest of the day; night signals for the following day.
