Tower Life Building
A 31-story skyscraper that opened with great fanfare on June 1, 1929 as the Smith-Young Tower, in downtown San Antonio. At the time, it was the grandest of the high-rise boom of the 1920s --just prior to the Wall Street Crash and subsequent Great Depression.
The octagonal-shaped office tower has setbacks on the upper floors that produce a wedding-cake effect. For the Christmas season, the tower's cake layers were festively illuminated with colored gels.
