The 12-story Fickett Towers was completed in 1973 and named after Harold Lord Fickett, the former senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Van Nuys. First Baptist was at one point the largest church west of the Mississippi and had a membership of more than 14,000.
Fickett was the youngest Navy chaplain in World War II, Hanes said.
