San Jacinto Plaza with Blue Flame Building in background
The Blue Flame building was built by the El Paso Natural Gas Company. The flame on the top of the building was lit in different colors depending on the weather forecast. This flame sign is located downtown on the roof of the El Paso Natural Gas Company building. It is also known as the Blue Flame Building. In 1996, the company moved to Houston and is now known as the El Paso Corporation. This sign was built in 1955 and was lit from the inside. It predicted the weather like the Weather Ball in Flint, MI. El Paso's "Weather Flame" is 21 feet tall and made of plexiglas and stainless steel. It was lit red for warmer weather, gold for cooler weather, and blue for no change. It flickered to warn of wind, rain, or snow. http://www.roadarch.com/signs/txelpaso.html
