Standing at 125 feet (38 m), the twelve story skyscraper opened in December 1928 as the headquarters for The Huntsville Times. The building, which is primarily used for office space, is located at the intersection of Holmes Avenue and Greene Street on the north side of Downtown Huntsville. In 1980, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[5]Originally the building was only to have eleven floors, but a twelfth floor was added during construction when the builder of the Russel Erskine Hotel announced it would have twelve floors.[7] As a result of the extra floor being added during construction, the elevators do not reach the top floor. The Huntsville Times occupied the building from the building's opening in 1928 until 1956 when they relocated to a new facility on Memorial Parkway. From the 1970s until forced to relocate in the late 1980s, the building was home to both public radio station WLRH (in the basement) and commercial radio station WAHR (which billed itself as broadcasting from "The Top of the Times".)  Media Coverage  Future Plans Will most likely be preserved for commercial office spaces  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries Day/Night Roof Trip Wed, Sep 17th, 2014 posted by SnArF 12 pictures   Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
