Tribune Tower, Gothic Revival office tower in Downtown Oakland Historic District, United States
The Tribune Tower rises 305 feet into the Oakland skyline with ornate Gothic Revival architecture, geometric patterns, and a large clock face on its exterior.
The 22-story Tribune Tower, completed in 1923, served as the headquarters for the Oakland Tribune newspaper until 2007, documenting local events for generations.
The building represents the golden age of print journalism in Oakland, with its former radio station KLX broadcasting from the top floor until 1959.
Located at the center of Downtown Oakland, the Tribune Tower contains office spaces, a restaurant, and a café on the ground level for public access.
In 1923, magician Harry Houdini performed an escape act while suspended upside down from the ninth floor of the Tribune Tower in just five seconds.
