There apparently had been an out of order sign on it. It may have been removed for safety reasons by now.

Emma Thompson lives in the High Tower building and there are some suspenseful shots of the killer coming up in the elevator.<br /><br />I lived in the penthouse of High Tower for many years. It was so high I remember waking up in the morning, looking over the railing and literally looking down on hawks circling beneath me. It truly is one of the most unique buildings in LA.bcheeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14590095637110869875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828648445472378674.post-41574668945170297022010-06-18T11:04:34.701-07:002010-06-18T11:04:34.701-07:00My friend says that back in the 60's they all ...My friend says that back in the 60's they all thought the tower was haunted and would go there to look at it but were afraid to go in.

I don't know which one though. I haven't finished the book yet but if there's more relevant information...
