Yeah, I like that building. Definitely would look much more classy with that awning on it!

That is really a beautiful awning - thanks for the pic Will.

But...it's not a pic of an awning on the Hightower Building, but rather that is the front of the 420 W. Main Building (City offices), or what was the Harbour Longmire funiture building. Notice the gothic type arches on the 2nd floor - Hightower doesn't have those. This pic is taken a little east of Walker, looking east along the south side of Main. The old Mercantile Building, at the se/c of Main and Hudson is in the background. Nevertheless, it would look great on the Hightower, or even on it's orginal building.

You're correct, that is not the Hightower building as evidenced by the pictures here.

I know it's not the Hightower. That's why I said "city building" aka Harbour-Longmire

Oh yeah, the fancy awning in the bottom left corner used to be over the entrance of the city building on Main (the street in the photo)
