Tower Reflections
a web documentary

Welcome to Tower Reflections! A web documentary created by students of California State University, Fresno, under the instruction of Professor Candace Egan.  This web documentary is a view of the Tower District through the eyes of its patrons, residents, and creators.  The website is a 'time capsule' that will allow you to chart your own journey as you explore your way through one of Fresno's historic landmarks.

The concept for the creation of the Tower Reflections website was laid out by Professor Candace Egan,


but was created entirely by students working in groups to conceptualize how they saw the historic Tower District, and the landmark Tower Theatre.

Students were sent out into the Tower District to capture, as best they could, their impressions in various media: photographs, video, and lots of research.
