Thanks so much Will!
This first photo is a screen capture from that video that shows the panels starting to go up on the backside of the crown. They look to be opaque rather than being any sort of window.
Second is from the webcam this AM and it shows there is only one more row of glass left on the north side of "V".

I can kinda see the back side of the west crown from where I live and I thought it might be done but I wasn't certain and just didn't have a good enough angle to be sure... I think this clears it up. BUT, from my view it's also clear that the back side of the north crown is not done.
Yes, they seem to be finishing the front glass of the north side before the other two, and the back of the westside before the others.
Love the photos and videos everyone! Thanks for sharing!
I was out last night and snapped a couple of the LEDs on the glass windows.

They are only going to be in the notches (like the one pictured) and rumor has it the crown will make extensive use of them. Somewhere in the last 352 pages there is a drawing of the tower that refers to the triangles at the top as 'lanterns' or 'torches' (don't remember which it was).
Thanks for the pics Alonzo..........I have also seen your work for the NBA from the baseline shots at Thunder games. You do good work.
Got some great video and photos this evening of triangular glass being installed on the west side and photos of the sunset on the building on the Western bridge. Also... video out the window along I-40 and under the Skydance Bridge.
Good...new page...

There should be a million views on this thread by the time the tower is complete...
500,000 of them by about 20 people... ;-)
There are times, depending on the angle and the light, that the building looks like it's chrome plated or stainless steel. It's a good look.
Here's a video preview...
Speaking of the lighting...imagine how much more brilliant it will be once they have window cleaning crews working regularly. You can see how filthy the panels are.

North crown, 1/20 (today):
Almost there on the North side!!!
This is my first post I am originally from OKC but moved to Houston after Highschool. I am ready to go back home and am amazed by all the progress I have seen just from this site. Cannot wait to see it in person.
Devon Tower just looks amazing, Now when I take my friends from Houston again they cannot say we dont have a single skysraper lol.
and 20 times a day.
Amazingly, it looks like those yellow beams will remain yellow.
Will be almost impossible to paint them now that the glass is being attached.
