History and architectural features [ edit ]
The tower was built in 1995 to commemorate the city's bicentennial year, 1996,[6] Dobbins Landing .
This historic structure is 187 feet (57 m ) tall and has two observation decks.[4]
A portion of the area around the tower was decorated with bricks engraved with the names and messages of individuals and groups that donated money in support of various community-benefit projects, including the tower's construction.[7] [8] [9]
On November 11, 1996, a time capsule to be opened in 2095 was buried at the base of the tower.[10]
