Home to one of the United States' first official think tanks, the Hoover Tower stands as more than just a gigantic eye-catching structure. Located on the Stanford campus, the building houses the Hoover Institution, the carillon bells, and an observation platform. The Hoover Institution Library takes up the first 9 floors of the Tower, cataloging over 1.6 million volumes and 50 million documents specifically relating to public policy issues. Visitors are encouraged to take the elevator to the 250-foot high observation platform, which offers breathtaking views of the Silicon Valley. |
