Architecture

The Textron Tower was designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon, architects of the Empire State Building. The structure is set back some from the building line and raised above the street on a podium. The first story is marbled sheathed and serves as a base for the concrete-grid curtain wall.[1] The building features deep reveals attached to a reinforced concrete frame and is clad with deeply exposed aggregate precast panels.[2]

The structure was included in a 2020 Business Insider article entitled The ugliest skyscraper in every state.[3]
