Havana Water Tower, Historic water tower in Havana, Illinois.
The Havana Water Tower stands 86 feet tall with an octagonal base and holds a water tank positioned on a platform 50 feet high.
Built in 1889 by architect F. William Raider, this structure served as the primary water supply for Havana residents until 1962.
The retaining walls of the tower feature a mural created by Green Valley artist Luke Kinzler, representing local artistic expression.
The tower requires $1.2 million in restoration work, including tuck pointing for the base and reinforcement of the retaining walls.
Recognized as the fourth oldest water tower in Illinois, the structure received American Water Landmark status in 1982.
