Developing East Tower

East Tower is a historical structure built in 1893 and formerly housed the East Junior High School and Columbian High School located at the corner of East Market & Jefferson Streets. The building was purchased by Andrew Kalnow, chairman/CEO of National Machinery LLC, in 2012 with a vision of it being restored and becoming a cornerstone of revitalization on downtown Tiffin. The East Tower is available for development.
