Arlington Reservoir
Arlington Reservoir, Neoclassical water tower in Arlington Heights, Massachusetts
The Arlington Reservoir features a circular stone rotunda containing a large water tank with a capacity of two million gallons at the summit of Park Circle.
Constructed between 1921 and 1924 by the Metropolitan Water Works, this structure replaced an earlier 550,000-gallon standpipe that served the area since 1895.
The water tower represents the Classical Revival style with Greek Doric elements, reflecting the architectural preferences of early 20th century American municipal buildings.
The reservoir supplies water to the Northern Extra-High Service area, serving the higher elevations of Arlington, Belmont, and Lexington through an extensive distribution system.
Local dance performances and visual art projections transformed the reservoir into a temporary outdoor exhibition space during its 90th-anniversary celebration in 2014.
