The Old Weather Bureau

The US Weather Bureau Building in Abilene, Texas.

This structure was completed for the Abilene Office of the United States Weather Bureau in 1909. The interior contained living quarters and an observatory for the administrator. The first official in charge here was W. H. Green, who served until 1944. Area weather services were later moved to the airport and the building was used for storage and for business school classes. The exterior features detailing of several architectural styles. It was recorded as a Texas Historic Lankmark in 1980.
