The Allied Arts Building rises above a downtown Lynchburg street corner, its stepped Art Deco crown visible over neighboring low brick and frame commercial blocks. A few parked cars and a pedestrian appear at street level. Completed in 1931, the seventeen-story tower was designed in the Art Deco style and long stood as Lynchburg's tallest building, a landmark of the city's early-20th-century commercial district.
