H2O - Water Towers, Etc.

12/04-Driving from Columbia, MO to Raleigh, NC I noticed water towers in the distance, some from miles away. Most often they showed the town's name so you would know where you were without the map. I wish I started to take pictures on that trip, but the idea of logging H2O towers was only in its infancy. This blog came almost a year later when I realized I really enjoy taking the back road to find what neat H2O towers exist. Feel free to post a link or story about your town's local H2O tower.

Historic Raleigh Water Tower

Raleigh. NC.

My friend Rob told me about this historic water tower in downtown Raleigh. The tank was removed from the top of it in 1924 and 4 floors were built in the tower. An architectual firm has offices in it now.

Read this for its history.
