Coolest Water Towers

Most of the water towers aren’t exactly a treat for the eyes. They’re basically big clumsy tanks of water set up high above the ground, high enough to  pressurize a water supply. We gathered here a list of some cool water towers you might actually like. They either have a nice look, a cool location, or any other characteristic that make reading about them worth your time. Enjoy!



Peachoid, Gaffney, South Carolina

Gaffney is the peach capital of South Carolina, so why shouldn’t they have a big water towershaped like a peach? Located along Interstate 85, the Peachoid, also known by the locals as Mr. Peach, is 135 feet (45 meters) tall and can hold one million gallons of water. The tower became even more famous after it was the focal plot point in an episode of House of Cards staring Kevin Spacey.

Brooks Catsup Bottle Water Tower, Collinsville, Illinois

Claimed to be the largest catsup bottle in the world, this water tower was constructed in 1949 to supply water to the nearby Brooks catsup plant. The idea to design the water tower as a catsup bottle came from Gerhart S. Suppiger - the president of the company. After the plant closed in 1993, the structure was repaired and restored by volunteers.

Corn water tower, Rochester, Minnesota

This huge water tower is obviously shaped like a corn, and is located near the Seneca Foods factory in Rochester, Minnesota.

Warner Bros water tower, Los Angeles, California

Perhaps not the most unique water tower, not the biggest one, and it’s not even in use anymore, but the WB water tower is by far the most famous water tower in the world, and one of the symbols of Hollywood, which makes it pretty cool.

Alcatraz water tower, San Francisco, California  

Another normal looking water tower we noramlly wouldn’t give a second look, except this water tower is located on the mysterious island of Alcatraz! If only water towers could talk.

Leaning Tower of Niles, Niles, Illinois

This is not the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but a copy half the size of the original. The replica is located in Pisa’s sister city – Niles, Illinois, and it is actually a water tower. Built in 1934, this amazing water tower was renovated in 1996.

House in the Clouds, Thorpeness, England

This water tower was built in 1923 to receive water pumped from Thorpeness Windmill. In 1979, when there was no longer a need for the water tower, the water tank was removed from the structure and the building became a home with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. A structure that started as a water tower disguised as a house, ended up being a house.
