The Worcester Plaza (formerly known as the Worcester
Tower)
County National Bank Tower is a building located in
downtown Worcester, Massachusetts. Its address is 446
Main Street. Designed by Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and
Associates, it was completed in 1974, and is currently tied
with Sky Mark Tower as the tallest building in Worcester.
It stands 289 feet (88 m) tall, is 24 stories high,[1] [2] and
has 244,000 square feet (22,700 m2) of total floor space.[3]
It’s façade is completely glass, similar to the 790-foot
(240 m) John Hancock Tower in nearby Boston.
The current building was built instead of a larger,
more iconic design announced in 1969 that was never
realized. The original design was a 696 feet (212 m) tall,
50 story, slender tower with an angled crown and would
have been the "highest standing commercial building in
New England. [4]
