Stone Tower

Stone Tower is a high-rise building in central Port Thomas. The building has always served as the headquarters of Atrium Mining Company. Upon completion in January 2012 is was the third tallest tower on the server, it is currently the 39th tallest as of February 2022.
In June 2021 the building was extensively renovated and extended.
==History==
In February 2011 the site of the tower was first used as lumber farm in the early days of Port Thomas. Lumber operations were assisted by minecolony villagers. In April 2011 huts were built on the site of the tower. The current footprint of the tower was occupied by four huts. In around August 2011 four huts were merged to create a museum, including two of which that are under the present building.
In late December 2011 two of the huts were demolished and Shepherd's Tower was built in their place and completed in January 2011. These were the second set of buildings to be demolished on the server, after only the Three Lost Huts a few months prior. Soon after Shepherd's Tower was complete, Stone Tower was built next door on the site of another two huts. Curiously, only one of these huts was demolished, while the tower was built atop the second hut. The original entrance and front façade of the old hut remained and could be accessed via a discrete alley behind the tower.
For many years Shepherd's Tower and Stone Tower stood together prominently. Their close proximity, identical heights and the fact the were constructed not long apart led to the two towers being seen as siblings on the Port Thomas skyline.
In June 2021 Shepherd's Tower was demolished and a southern wing was added to Stone Tower using the adjacent land. This extension gave the tower more usable floor area per level and thinned out the number of high-rises in the area which had become extremely dense. In addition to the extension the a original staircase was replaced by a bubble elevator and compact staircase. The ground floors were also completely remodelled and a section of Circumference Road was removed to give the tower a small plaza around its entrance. 
As part of the basement renovation most of the original hut remaining under the tower was removed, although a small piece of wooden wall with a window can still be seen adjacent to the back alley entrance.
Stone Tower was the only building in Port Thomas visited by Saplow and TheMisterEpic during their visit of the server.
