Battle Creek Tower
Battle Creek Tower, Art Deco skyscraper in Battle Creek, Michigan
Battle Creek Tower is a 19-story limestone skyscraper featuring vertical window bands and geometric patterns across its facade. The building was designed by architectural firm Holabird & Root and contains office spaces and residential units in the downtown business district.
The building was constructed in 1931 as Central National Tower and served as a major banking headquarters during Michigan's early financial growth. Its construction reflected the economic expansion happening across the region at that time.
The tower reflects the architectural style of the 1930s and continues to shape Battle Creek's downtown appearance. Its design connects visitors to an era when the city was a significant financial center.
The tower is located in downtown Battle Creek and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors can admire the architecture from the street and explore nearby shops and restaurants in the area.
A tornado siren installed on the tower's rooftop has been tested monthly for decades and represents the building's role in community safety. This Federal Signal Thunderbolt siren connects the structure to local emergency preparedness history.
