Description:: The Central Tower Building was designed by M. Eugene Durfee and constructed in 1929 by the contractors J. Westley Forderer (west wing and tower) and Claude L. Freeman (north wing). It is an example of the Art Deco style, with vertical pilasters; recessed spandrels; stylized parapets on the second, sixth, seventh and eighth floors; and decorative patterns including the zig-zag styled ornamentation above the commercial storefronts. It was constructed of reinforced concrete with brick infill and finished with stucco. The form consists of two-story store front wings flanking an eight-story tower. In this photograph the original metal screening on the exterior of the storefront transom windows, the black-tiled store front base and black and white storefront checkered flooring are visible.
