Leaning Tower of Britten, Water tower in Groom, Texas, United States.

The Leaning Tower of Britten stands at a 10-degree angle along Interstate 40, featuring a large colored star at its summit near Groom, Texas.

Ralph Britten purchased this water tower scheduled for demolition and relocated it to promote his truck stop and tourist information center in the 1980s.

The structure represents the tradition of roadside attractions along Route 66, drawing photographers and travelers seeking to document American transportation history.

Visitors can access the tower via a gravel road with designated parking areas for taking photographs of this tilted structure.

During December, the town illuminates the multicolored star atop the tower, transforming it into a regional seasonal landmark visible from the highway.
