Spawnsville Building

The Spawnsville Building is a landmark tower in Spawnsville near Spawn Point. Built in early January 2011, it was the first building built in Quotro. The building was also briefly the tallest tower on the server until the completion of Max Tower in February 2011. Since the partial demolition of Dad Tower in 2018, the Spawnsville Building is again the tallest building in Spawnsville.
== History ==
=== Construction ===
The building was built in three stages in January 2011. The first stage was a wooden box house; this was built in the first week of January and was the first wooden structure built by ThatIsPeter.
The second stage was a two storey cobblestone mushroom built above the original structure. These floors house a pool, portals and a bookshelf.
The third and final stage saw a chapel built high above the second stage. The chapel has a balcony that overlooks central Port Thomas. The chapel is accessed via an extension to the access ladder to the second stage.
=== Use ===
The first stage of the building was used as base by ThatIsPeter for a few days until The Atrium was built. The lower part of the building was damaged by a creeper explosion soon after completion. The damage to the wooden structure was patched with cobblestone, which can be seen to this day. The explosion also destroyed the bookshelf, which was never replaced. The building was mostly abandoned until later in January when the world was transferred to a more capable computer. The Atrium was favoured as a base due to the reduced lag experienced underground.
The chapel was used for several years as a player head museum. The museum displayed the heads of ever player that had joined the server, but this was removed due to the intense lag this caused at Spawn Point. The balcony is also used for screenshots of Port Thomas. It is a particularly useful reference point that has not changed over the development of the city.
== Controversy ==
The building is a significant eye sore and has been met with multiple proposals to be either remodelled or demolished entirely. So far, the building has always escaped removal due to its historical significance.
