Sunset Towers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sunset Towers is an apartment building, the primary setting of the novel The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin.

Sunset Towers is a five-story apartment building, facing Lake Michigan somewhere in the fictional town of Westingtown, in the fictional Westing County, on the Wisconsin shore. It is interesting to note that Sunset Towers faces east, although the sun sets in the west.

Sunset Towers features picture windows (made of one-way glass) in every room, doorman and maid service, central air conditioning, a high-speed elevator, and is located near excellent schools, although the junior high school is four miles away

It also includes a doctor's office on the first floor (Doctor Wexler), as well as a coffee shop in the lobby (Theodorakis) and a Chinese restaurant on the fifth floor (Shin Hoo's Restaurant, later Hoo's on First).
