Tower Life Building - downtown neo-Gothic landmark

The Tower Life Building, completed in 1929 as the Smith-Young Tower, is a neo-Gothic high-rise in downtown San Antonio noted for its copper-clad roof and ornamental gargoyles. The building's distinctive silhouette and decorative masonry make it a recognizable element of the city's skyline and a frequently photographed downtown landmark. It continues to house offices and retail at street level while retaining its historic exterior character.
