Few water towers from this period carry as much decorative detail as the one shown here. Its shingled body rises to a set of small turrets, and a weathervane sits at the top, a combination that set it apart from the plain steel standpipes many towns built for storage. Towers like this were often designed to blend with the architecture of nearby homes and civic buildings, so the owners treated them as part of the town's public face as much as a piece of infrastructure. In black and white, the texture of the shingles and the sharp outline of the turrets stand out, showing how carefully the builders shaped a utilitarian structure to look like something a community could take pride in.
