Water Tower

The water tower, built in the late 19th century, is constructed of red brick and features stone aprons at the windows and a plat band. It stands approximately 120 feet high and has an octagonal shape. The tower is supported by a massive plinth with a corbelled offset at the top of the shaft, which tapers inwards. The upper stage of the tower is adorned with large multi-eaves bands, brick dentils, and a string course at the base of a pierced parapet. Each face of the tower has five rectangular openings, except for one face in the parapet stage. Most faces of the tower shaft have three additional openings above a single central opening. The main body features two windows with stone lintels and aprons in the upper stage on most faces, while alternate faces have two round-arched windows with gauged brick heads positioned at one and two-thirds height. There are also single-storey central windows in the plinth on the east and west faces. The north side has double doors with lambs-tongue stops on the splayed jambs. A massive circular stair turret is located on the east face, supported by an enormous label bracket with a spherical stop.
