The multi-colored brick becomes gradually lighter as it reaches the top of the building and the piers are finished with light terra-cotta resembling snow-capped rocky peaks. Stylized metal rods resembling evergreen trees crown the building ..." (Elenga).

Seattle Tower, continues to grace Seattle's downtown. It is City of Seattle Landmark number 137 and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975. #roadtrip
