About the Bank of America Tower
This tower stands 360 feet (110 meters) tall. It has 23 floors. The building was designed in a style called postmodern. This means it mixes old and new ideas in its look.
Inside the tower, you'll find a Bank of America branch. The main lobby and elevators to the upper floors are on the second floor. Bank of America also uses floors 19 through 24 for its offices. You might notice there is no 13th floor. This is a common practice in many buildings.
