Tower Building

The Tower Building at 1401 K Street Northwest in Washington, D.C., is a historic high-rise complex completed in 1929 by architect Robert F. Beresford. At fifteen meters tall with fourteen stories, the building was the city's tallest high-rise when it opened. It is considered the first Art Deco office building in Washington, inspired by a Paris exhibition in 1926. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 and is now one of the most significant historic high-rises in the U.S. capital.
