North Shore Sanitary District Tower, Art Deco water tower in Highland Park, United States.

The North Shore Sanitary District Tower features geometric patterns, stone door trim, and windowsills that reach a height of 50 feet in Rosewood Park.

Samuel Arnold Greeley designed this utilitarian structure in 1931, marking a period when infrastructure buildings incorporated substantial architectural elements into their construction.

The tower earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, reflecting the intersection of industrial function and architectural design in Illinois.

Located at coordinates 42°10′06″N 87°46′15″W, the tower continues its original purpose under the operation of the North Shore Water Reclamation District.

The structure appears on the album cover of 'Oceania' by The Smashing Pumpkins, connecting infrastructure design with contemporary music culture.
