Look familiar? The Tower made the Times!

We all like to see ourselves in the paper! We were excited to see something familiar in Monday’s edition of the Times of Northwest Indiana!

We’re celebrating this 101-year-old Tower this summer!

Follow us for more Tower stories, photos, video, and a touching tribute by a renowned radio broadcaster, to come!

Plus a Sunday Celebrating the Tower in August! Date TBA

The building is now on the National Register of Historic Places and the Indiana Register of Historic Sites and Structures.

We made this video in 2003 as an entry for a prize from the show “The View” but it’s a great summary of what we’re about and why we do what we do!
