Hofmann Tower, Concrete tower in Lyons, Illinois, US.

Hofmann Tower is a concrete structure in Riverside with eight stories and corner turrets constructed from steel-reinforced concrete. The building displays the sturdy engineering techniques common to early 20th-century construction.

A brewer named George Hofmann Jr. built this structure in 1908 as part of a recreational complex along the Des Plaines River. The building reflects the industrial history of the region during that era.

The tower earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, marking its significance in preserving Illinois architectural heritage.

The building is located at Barrypoint Road and not open to the public. Visitors can view its exterior from the street to appreciate its architectural style.

The structure was among the first buildings in the area to be equipped with electrical lighting systems at the time of its construction. This advancement was notable for the early 1900s.
