The Tower Building is a historic skyscraper in South Bend, Indiana, United States. Designed by architects Austin & Shambleau, it was built in 1929 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1] The Tower Building was originally to be built in two halves; but the western half was never built. The eastern half was completed during the Wall Street Crash of 1929.[2]

The Tower Building resides at 216 West Washington Street, diagonally from the current St. Joseph County Courthouse, and beside the Second St. Joseph County Courthouse (Old Courthouse).

The building today houses local businesses, such as Hebard & Hebard Architects, Inc.,[3] and Cullar & Associates, PC, CPAs.[4]
