Adjacent to the modern John Hancock Tower is the 1947 Old John Hancock Tower. This art deco building has a pyramid-shaped roof topped with a weather beacon. The beacon has a different color depending on the weather: clear blue means a clear view, flashing blue means clouds due, steady red signals rain ahaid and a flashing red beacon warns for snow (or today's Red Sox game is canceled).Tonight it was blue.
