Significance: The Water Tower, still in operation, holds 8000 gallons of water. Constructed of stone walls, a rough timber roof, wood shingles (later replaced by asphalt) with a copper cap, and a reinforced concrete water tank, the tower measures about 15.5 feet from out to out of the square structure, and stands about 50.5 feet tall. There is no evidence to suggest the use of an architect.
