Keep in mind that it's at a bank. I highly doubt it's a siren at all. Light.

Semi relevant to the current discussion, haha. I found this on pinterest, which never really gives enough information about anything shared through it. It says this was formerly an undefined tornado siren, OR a Thunderbolt depending on who uploaded it, that was repurposed into a light fixture.

Had to go hunt it down because I have no idea what sort of siren this used to be. Is it multiple Thunderbolt horns welded together? Or formerly a part of something else entirely?

Wow, so not even a siren at all. See, that's what I mean when I say pinterest doesn't have nearly enough information about its uploads. Sometimes it's just downright incorrect. Thanks for informing me!

Is this even a siren or a vent?
My two guesses are denver siren with custom housing or a Federal Electric Type B.

More than likely an air vent.

That's surely an AC unit of some kind I figure.

It's massive!

I'd say air conditioning or a condenser rack of some kind.

It's a vent of some sort. The part behind the louvres is a big radial fan. Probably exhausts air from the building or something.
