Tower Building, Art Deco skyscraper at 1401 K Street Northwest, Washington D.C., United States.

The Tower Building is a 14-story skyscraper constructed in Art Deco style along K Street Northwest. Its facade displays characteristic geometric forms and elaborate decorative elements that define the architecture of that period.

The structure was completed in 1929 as the city's first Art Deco office building. It marked an important moment in Washington's architectural history and influenced subsequent building projects in the region.

The building displays geometric patterns and ornamental details that define the Art Deco style and shape the downtown streetscape. Visitors can observe the elaborate facade embellishments that reflect the artistic preferences of an entire era.

The structure is located in Washington's downtown business district and is easily accessible on foot from public transportation. The surrounding area offers plenty of parking options and is well connected to the streetcar network.

Architect Robert F. Beresford drew inspiration from an international art exhibition in Paris when designing the structure. These artistic influences from Europe continue to shape the building's appearance today.
