The Time and Temperature Building is a 14-story office building on Congress Street in Portland, Maine. The building is named after a neon sign on the roof that has displayed the local time and temperature since 1964. It was built in 1924 with a shopping center on the ground floor.
In 1999, a new neon sign with 182 bulbs was installed, which also broadcasts messages of two lines of four characters each. Perhaps the most common ad in recent years has been "CALL JOE," referring to the law firm of Joe Bornstein, the sign's longtime tenant (deceased 2020). Since 2010, his firm has published short messages from over 300 nonprofit organizations.

Photographer Corey Templeton has paid much attention to the neon sign; his photos are documented on a blog:
