Did you know that there are stars painted on the ceiling of HPL's tower?
The idea of having the stars came from Charles Hackley's business partner's (Thomas Hume) sons!
The tall octagonal turret contrasts nicely with the horizontal scale of the asymmetrical building, giving it a unique aesthetic. Additionally, Charles Hackley liked the idea of the tower, noting that it represented a beacon, lighting the pathway to knowledge.
