Washburn Park Water Tower
Washburn Park Water Tower, Water tower in Tangletown, Minneapolis, US.
The Washburn Park Water Tower reaches 110 feet in height and features a cylindrical dome with eight hooded knight sculptures around its perimeter.
The structure replaced an 1893 tower that supplied water to the Memorial Orphan Asylum, before the city of Minneapolis acquired it in 1915.
Eight concrete eagles perch atop pilasters, inspired by actual measurements of a captured eagle that attacked architect Harry Wild Jones near his home.
The tower maintains water pressure throughout south Minneapolis during summer months, with seasonal filling in spring and draining in fall.
The tower serves as a reference point for aircraft approaching Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, visible from incoming flight paths.
