About Time n Downtown Dallas




Dormant for nearly two decades, the four giant clocks atop downtown Dallas' Mercantile building ticked to life Tuesday night.
The building's 115-foot-tall ornamental spire is also illuminated again. Its white light rings flash upward when temperatures rise, downward when they fall. A star-shaped light at the spire's top glows green when weather is fair, orange-red when it's inclement.
The Mercantile National Bank Building is 430 feet tall with a 115 feet tower. The overall height including the tower is 545 feet. The building is the 27th tallest in the city. The Mercantile Dallas Building was 360 feet tall.




Take care....Ric
