Syracuse: Flag Flying Off the State Tower Building

Weighlock Building

Canal boats traveling along the Erie Canal passed through the Weighlock Building where the weight of the cargo could be calculated. Syracuse Then and Now explains a bit more about the history of the building, including how we almost lost it and City Hall to the Interstate coming through town. Who dreams up these desecrations?

Syracuse Landmarks

The large blocky building behind the round-cornered Courier Building is an extension of the State Tower Building built at the same time as the tall art deco tower.

The south sides of both the State Tower Building and the Courier Building were built along the diagonal Genesee Street, now a public walkway.

City Hall is fully on Washington Street.

The north sides of City Hall and the State Tower Building are a block away from the path of the old Erie Canal, on Water Street. Behind the Courier Building is Fire Station No. 1, converted to other uses, and a diner.

Hanover Square

State Tower Building

The brightly lit State Tower Building on Hanover Square is an art deco piece of art! One can plainly see in this view the three different colors of brick that fool the eye into seeing an even taller building. It was built in 1927. It was and still is an Upstate skyscraper at 23 stories.

New technology has meant all the huge satellite dishes on top have been taken away. 

It it were made into apartments, I would move in immediately! I'd take the penthouse, thank you.
