When the Breithaupt Block was occupied by Perstorp Components/Collins & Aikman, that box housed a thermometer. When a temperature of 28° was observed, plant floor personnel were provided with "heat relief", meaning extra breaks, company-provided Gatorade and the option to go home four hours early without pay.
It was not an official weather station of any kind, just a thermometer in a white box.
