Local nameTime and Temperature Building
LocationPortland, Maine

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 Building; until the 1970s, these buildings were Portland's only skyscrapers.The building, being one of Portland's tallest, is visible on the horizon for a number of miles, including from Peaks Island across the harbor, and it has become a landmark to Portlanders depending on it for not only the sign's time and temperature, but to find their way into Portland.
