Electric Tower is a 14-story Beaux-Arts Classical Revival office building at the corner of Washington and Genesee Streets in Buffalo, New York. Designed by James A. Johnson and built in 1912, it is clad in white terra-cotta and rises 294 feet to an octagonal tower that steps back three times to a large lantern. Its design was based on an earlier temporary tower built for the 1901 Pan-American Exposition. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in September 2008.
