Baker City Tower, Art Deco apartment building in Baker City, Oregon
Baker City Tower is a nine-story building featuring concrete garlands, terra cotta eagles at the entrances, and decorative urns at the eighth-floor corners. The structure combines functional living spaces with elaborate architectural ornamentation throughout its design.
The building was constructed in 1929 as Baker Community Hotel, funded through investments from 300 local residents during a period of economic growth. Its completion marked a major investment in the town's infrastructure and development.
The building displays geometric patterns and ornamental details that define the Art Deco style. Its facade with terra cotta eagles and decorative urns reflects the artistic approach of this architectural period.
The building offers direct access to shops and services in downtown Baker City. An elevator makes moving between floors easy, and modern heating and cooling systems provide comfort throughout.
The building features a rooftop cupola that offers views of Powder River Basin and the Elkhorn Mountains. This elevated position makes it the tallest structure east of Oregon's Cascade Range.
