White Tower, Constructivist water tower in Ordzonikidsevski district, Russia
The White Tower is a constructivist water tower in Yekaterinburg that rises about 100 feet tall with its storage tank positioned high above street level. The structure displays the geometric severity typical of Soviet industrial architecture through its bold angles and functional forms.
The tower was completed in 1931 by architect Moses Reysher during the Soviet industrialization period. This project demonstrated new approaches to Russian architecture that embraced modern construction methods and materials.
Today the tower serves as a gathering place where exhibitions and cultural programs showcase local art and architectural heritage to visitors.
The tower has been extensively restored by the Podelniki group and is open to visitors interested in exploring constructivist architecture firsthand. You can examine the technical systems and restoration craftsmanship throughout the interior spaces.
Inside the tower, historical graffiti from years of abandonment has been preserved as part of the restoration work. These markings serve as a record of the building's dormant period before it was brought back to life.
