The mammoth building, constructed in about 18 months during World War II, was the first building to enrich uranium. It operated until the mid-1960s then sat dormant for the next 40 years.
When the decision was made to turn ETTP into a modern industrial park it was determined that most of K-25 would be torn down. But since it was recognized as being a historically significant structure, a memorandum of agreement was signed to preserve the so-called North Tower, the section that connected the two 'legs' of the U-shaped building.

In the movie An Affair to Remember, Terry McKay (Deborah Kerr) had just come in from Boston and had taken a cab from a ladies' shop to the Empire State Building area. Stuck in traffic, she decided to walk the remaining distance and was watching the building instead of the traffic, and thus she was struck by a car and ended up in a local hospital instead of the Empire State Building.
