Default Multiple control towers?

I recently had occasion to pass through DFW on American. How many
control towers does that airport have? What do they all do? I was
looking out the window like a kid. I think we passed a "35C". Sure is
a GIANT airport to a 172 driver. Was into McCarren once; it was
child's play compared to what DFW looks like.

Possibly one of the towers was dedicated to ground, this is not
unheard of, IIRC LAX has a dedicated ground control tower. Could also
be an old tower. Hobby airport in Houston has 3 towers, the first
tower has been turned into a museum, the old tower is vacant ( may be
used for training) and the new (about 1.5 years old) state of the art
tower. Google DFW tower and i'll bet you get some hits that will
answer your questions.
