Old Wayne Tower

The Wayne Tower was the tallest building in Gotham (pre earthquake). Part of a larger architectural scheme for Old Gotham City designed by Cyrus Pinkney and promoted by Judge Solomon Wayne. The tower was finally built in 1888 by Alan Wayne. It was built as a symbol to welcome all of those who enter Gotham City. For each entry point into the city, there was built a gargoyle or 'guardian,' to welcome visitors. At the top of the tower is an observation deck.
