The San Francisco Guide says of the tower:

Surmounted by a fourteen-story, 280foot tower, the adjoining HOOVER LIBRARY FOR WAR, PEACE AND REVOLUTION, a concrete and steel structure built in 1940 (Bakewell, Weihe, and Brown, architects), houses ex-presidents Herbert Hoover’s collection of 150,000 printed and manuscript items dealing with the World War and its aftermath.

The Hoover Tower can be seen in Google Street View.
