The Terminal Tower is where SW and Buckeye, the falcons, live. The tower is built in down town Cleveland, Ohio. The Terminal Tower looks like a very thick needle. It is 708 feet tall, but it has a 63 foot tall flag pole on the top which makes it 771 feet tall. The Terminal Tower has 52 floors and the nest is on the 12th floor. The Tower was the tallest outside New York City until 1967.
The Terminal Tower has a hotel, offices, retail shops above ground, and the underground public transportation base for Cleveland. 1,000 buildings were torn down to build the tower. The tower is 98 feet square. The Terminal Tower also goes 250 feet below ground level.
The general contractor who built the terminal tower was John Gill and his sons. The architects were Graham, Anderson, Probst, and White. The Terminal Tower was "Topped off" on August 18, 1929.
