Berkeley Building Weather Beacon in Boston, Massachusetts

The Berkeley Building, also called the Old John Hancock building, was one foot short of being Boston’s tallest from 1947 until 1964. But its most prominent feature is this weather beacon at 495 feet. The lighting scheme predicts the near-term weather forecast. A special pattern of flashing red and blue lights is reserved for when the Red Sox win the World Series.
