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.

Vacation to Chicago - Part 2 - September 2014

Did you know there is a very old historic water tower in downtown Chicago that is absolutely beautiful? I did because of someone that submitted it to me in 2006! So when we visited we had to go for our selves.

The area, along with a mall, is named after it. I am not a professional photographer (as you can tell) but this was so tall I had trouble getting a good picture of it.

Isn't this water tower grand? Such great architecture from our municipal forefathers.
We were too late for the small tour unfortunately.

1869

Across the street from the tower is a pumping station that has similar architecture but still works. You can take a tour.
