One of the early skyscrapers, Seattle’s Smith Tower rises 42 floors and is topped by a pyramid shaped Gothic cap. Completed in 1914, the building’s steel frame is wrapped in white terra cotta, with granite on the 1st and 2nd floors. Smith Tower is primarily an office building (with an observation room and deck), but there is actually someone residing under that Gothic cap. There 37th floor was originally a caretaker’s apartment and a 10,000 gallon water tank sat above it. Now that pyramid of space is occupied by a very lucky tenant who has a spectacular view.
