Hazen Water Tower, Water tower in Des Moines, US.
The Allen Hazen Water Tower rises 110 feet high with 15 concrete Tuscan columns supporting a tank that holds 1.7 million gallons of water.
Built between 1930 and 1931 under engineer Clinton Mackenzie's design, the tower received its name from water treatment pioneer Allen Hazen who died before completion.
The water tower exhibits Neoclassical architecture with references to Roman waterworks, representing early 20th-century municipal infrastructure development in Des Moines.
Located at 4800 Hickman Road on Des Moines' west side, the structure maintains its original function while also serving as a landmark in Tower Park.
The structure once displayed a large directional arrow on its top to guide pilots toward the Des Moines airport.
