Buford Tower, a six-story brick building that was constructed in 1930, has now been restored after fire damage in April 2021. The structure has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2016. Damaged brick, windows, and concrete plinth have now been repaired and replaced in accordance with historic preservation standards. The surrounding landscaping has also been restored along with updates to the interior electrical components and carillon chimes. Learn more about Buford Tower Repairs.
