From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lafayette Towers Apartments are two apartment buildings designed by Mies van der Rohe.
The Lafayette Towers Apartments are two apartment buildings in the Lafayette Park development, near downtown. They were built in 1963 and stand at 22 storeys in height. They are high-rises that were built in the international style of architecture, much like the Lafayette Pavillion Apartments, and the other buildings in the development. The main materials are aluminium and glass. Lafayette Towers Apartments East stands at 1301 Orleans Street, Lafayette Towers Apartments West stands at 1321 Orleans Street.
Along with the other neighboring Mies van der Rohe-designed buildings, these buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
These are two of four towers in the Lafayette Park development. The other two are the Windsor Tower, and the Lafayette Pavillion Apartments.
