Overview
- The Old Wayne Tower is a multi-story tower located in Gotham City's Diamond District.
- Erected in 1888, the Old Wayne Tower was designed by stepbrothers Nicholas Anders and Bradley Gate, with support from Edward Elliot, Mayor Theodore Cobblepot and Alan Wayne.
- The tower was the first of a new series of skyscrapers proposed by the brothers, utilizing a new method of foundation construction to enable the buildings to grow higher than previously thought possible, proposed as a landmark and as a symbol of welcome to people coming to Gotham.
- At the top of the tower is the observation deck, which Alan Wayne insisted remain free and open to the public every weekend, all year round. The windows were made of a double-bonded, laminated float glass, designed to be crystal-quality, weatherproof and unbreakable.
- Named after the Wayne Family, it is one of the few remaining landmarks of Old Gotham to survive the city's great earthquake, retaining its title as Gotham's tallest pre-quake structure. It continues to be the nerve center of the city's financial district.
