Bellevue Standpipe, Historic water tank in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, US.
The Bellevue Standpipe rises 114 feet high with a 47-foot diameter, featuring rough-cut granite facing over poured concrete construction at Bellevue Hill.
Constructed in 1914 by the Metropolitan Water and Sewerage Board, this water tank replaced an 1888 structure to meet growing urban water supply needs.
The structure represents early 20th-century municipal engineering achievements and remains an essential part of Boston's water infrastructure system.
Located at the northern end of Stony Brook Reservation, the standpipe connects to Fisher Hill Reservoir through a 20-inch main and Hyde Park pumping station.
Standing at 330 feet above sea level on Bellevue Hill, this water tank marks the highest elevation point in Boston.
