     History
    The 22-story Lincoln American Tower (LAT) was built in the late 1920’s.
    The tall, white Lincoln-American Tower (originally Colombian Mutual Tower, 1924) at 60 North Main is a smaller version of the Woolworth Building (1912) in New York City

    Site of Irvin Block Prison, used by the Union Army to house Confederate sympathizers during the Civil War.
    - Design modeled on New York's Woolworth Building at 1/3 scale.
    - The Lincoln American Tower was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

     Future Plans
    On the National Register of Historic Places, the Lowensteins Department Store, later occupied by Rhodes Jennings, the Court Annex Building, and the Lincoln American Tower are being restored by a Prague-based organization (CGI) teamed with local partners. After an extensive evaluation, the Center City Development Corporation approved CGI's plan for transforming the buildings into a residential complex complete with basement level parking, ground level retail and office space, and loft-style residences. Stabilization of the buildings, which suffer from serious structural deterioration, collapsed roofs, and water damage, is in process. While the design calls for the existing structures to serve as the framework for new internal structures, the unique and historical building facades will be preserved.
