Pipestone Water Tower
Pipestone Water Tower, Water tower in Pipestone, Minnesota.
The Pipestone Water Tower extends 132 feet into the air, featuring spiral windows, an internal staircase, and a tank that holds 150,000 gallons of water.
The Campbell Construction Company built this concrete structure in 1920 for $24,610, and it supplied water to the community until its replacement in 1976.
The water tower now stands as the central element of the Water Tower Festival, a community celebration that occurs annually in late June.
Visitors can learn about the tower's engineering and historical importance through informational displays at the adjacent wayside rest area established in 1990.
The structure remains one of only two known water towers in the United States designed by architect L.P. Wolfe, with the other located in Brainerd, Minnesota.
