The only time-temperature sign in downtown Columbus, this one is large and bright enough to be legible from a good distance.

One of the large handful of sandstone buildings along Pike Avenue/Old Highway 10 in Columbus, the Yellowstone Bank stands on a choice corner lot at Pratten Street. Most of the buildings on Pike Avenue were built of locally quarried sandstone in the early twentieth century, between about 1905 and 1920. Now well over a century old, Yellowstone Bank was founded by B. M. Harris in 1907 and today, after four generations, is still owned and operated by the Harris family. The bank's website doesn't happen to mention the year the Columbus branch, today one of eight, opened for business. A good bet would be that it opened (in this building) sometime around 1910.

Employing LED lights, it's obvious that the bank's time-temperature sign is nearly a century newer than the building itself. It hangs off the southeast corner of the building, making it visible from both Pratten Street and Pike Avenue.
