This is a solid metal souvenir replica of the Williams Tower in Houston, TX. The base measures 1.4" square. Overall height measures 4.9". On the front, the base reads in raised lettering, "Williams". On the right side, "275m". On the back, "Houston". And left side, "1983"

At 64 stories and 275 meters the Williams Tower (aka Transco) was the world's tallest building in the suburbs when it was build in 1983. It is a modern day glass art deco skyscraper. Had it been cast in stone, rather than glass it would be easily mistaken for any of the skyscrapers that went up before the Great Depression. Now it is a memorial to those buildings that went before it, and still in-line with the other glass blocks that share its zip code.

Note: This replica is in the new standard scale
