Downtown West is a scattering of buildings centered around Locust Street. Vacant land alternates with massive and ornate buildings, seemingly at random. This tour runs in a broad sweep from west to east. It covers some buildings which might properly be considered part of the downtown core, or the Washington Loft District.
