Shown is the Smith-Young Tower in downtown San Antonio, TX. This building originally had a flagpolt atop it's roof until 1953, when a local radio/tv station removed the flagpole and placed a 250ft steel tower on the roof. That was removed in 2012 and the original flagpole was reinstalled. It's really nice to see Old Glory flying atop this neo-gothic style building. This building is noted for it's many gargoyles.
