White Water Tower,
20th & East Grand Street, St. Louis, Missouri
Our
old water tower on East Grand Avenue was built in 1870-2. It is 154 feet
high and reputed to be the largest Corinthian column in the world. The
neighborhood around this tower is known as the Water Tower District. The
tower is not in use and now serves only as a monument to progress. The
steel stand pipe was removed from the structure several years ago and sold
as scrap iron and the tower was repaired and painted. The shaft of the
tower is constructed of brick and the cap is made of cast iron. |
