Leapy Lee,
Although, to most, the difference would seem rather apparent, especially to someone of your estimable intelligence, but.since you asked, I'll explain the obvious.
The main difference is that a tower, like the Eiffel Tower, is primarily a self-supporting structure without significant occupiable floor space, whereas a building, like the Empire State Building, is defined by its at least 50% of occupiable floor space and is designed for habitation or use. Towers are generally constructed to serve a singular purpose, such as observation or broadcasting, while buildings are multi-purpose structures that contain a large amount of habitable space.
I hope that helps.
