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.
