Bondes Tower

Bondes Tower is a landmark tower in Central Port Thomas and an icon of the stone era. It was the tallest building on the server for a few months before the completion of Dad Tower. It remains to this day the largest building in Port Thomas not built by ThatIsPeter. It was originally named Highest Tower unofficially.
== History ==
Before the tower there were three wood and cobble buildings on the site including a large hall. Construction started at the north end of the site with a chest store. Peter insisted that Hut Street remain intact, therefore the building bridges the street. One of the first parts of the building completed was the central staircase. Peter worried that the enormous building would never be completed and the stairs would remain as an eyesore, but the building was completed reasonably quickly and opened on 27th May 2012. It was mostly built by jonbon with only some help from Peter and marmi. The building was the tallest on the server until the completion of Dad Tower a few months later.
Not long after the tower was completed, jonbon announced his retirement from Quotro. The tower was gifted to Peter, who removed some of the jungle trees, remodelled the deck and created a lobby on the south base of the tower. It was only at this point that the tower received its official name in honour of its creator. Jonbon came back from retirement only a few weeks later, but did not reclaim the tower.
After the server's hiatus, the tower's large basement was remodelled into an underground stables and a high school was built on the north side of the building. An air bridge was built connecting the building to Craig House soon after with the school expanding into this building as well. 
== Description ==
At 189 m, it is the second tallest building in Quotro after Manor Tower, which is also in Central Port Thomas. In addition to the 46 above ground floors, the tower also extends 13 levels underground with the same footprint. Four of the underground levels are occupied by Centre City Stables. 
The main part of the building is made of two 15x15 towers connected by a glass enclosed staircase. The staircase is recessed one block from the west face and two blocks in from the east face. The tower has two bases separated by Hut Street. The larger south base houses the lobby of the building and is accessible from both Hut Street and Elizabeth Road. The smaller north base functions as the reception for Capital High School and is only accessible from Chester Street. A nine storey air bridge connects the building to the neighbouring Craig House. The building has a large deck on the east face of the third storey that is used by the high school. The top floor is occupied by a viewing platform with two small glass skydecks. There is also an aerobics and dance studio on the third storey.
