Easton Tower

Easton Tower is a stone and wood-frame water tower standing at the intersection of Red Mill and Paramus roads beside the Saddle River. The structure displays characteristic late 19th-century construction methods with its solid base and distinctive vertical proportions.

Edward D. Easton, founder of Columbia Records, commissioned this water supply tower in 1899 as part of his landscaped estate development. The structure was built to serve the practical needs of the property during the estate's active period.

The tower marks a location where General Lafayette stopped during his return visit to America in 1825 after the Revolutionary War.

The tower sits within a small public park featuring pathways and historical markers about the Revolutionary era. The site provides good accessibility and clear signage to help you navigate the grounds.

The structure has become associated with reported unexplained phenomena by visitors, ranging from mysterious sounds to visual occurrences documented in local accounts. These stories have given the building an appeal to those curious about such occurrences.
