Stone Eagles on O.T. Bassett Tower
The picture shows parts of the O.T. Basset Tower. It was built in 1930 and once the tallest building in town. It was built by Trost & Trost in the art deco architectural style popular in the 1920s and 1930s, which was marked by streamlined shapes and geometric proportions. One can see three of ten stylized stone eagles. Reminiscent of gargoyles arrayed around medieval classics in Europe, they stand guard around the perimeter of the top most setback, just below the tower’s copper roof.
