The Pacific Southwest Building is a 15-story, 67 m (220 ft) high-rise completed in 1925 in downtown Fresno, California. The tower's antenna rises to 315 ft (96 m). Original construction took eighteen months and cost $1,200,000 for the headquarters for the Fidelity Branch of the Pacific-Southwest Trust and Savings Bank. Originally, a beacon on top of the tower served as a frost warning to farmers within a 30-mile radius. It is the tallest building in Fresno.
