Construction on Traveler's Tower was completed in 1919 and was designed by Don Barber. At the time it was the tallest building in New England and the first commercial building outside of New York to rise above 500 feet. It stands at 527 feet with 24 floors.
In the daytime it flashes a red beacon for air traffic, and at night is lit with white light.
The Travelers Tower observation deck is open to the public on weekdays from May through October, free of charge.
