Beloit Water Tower, Water tower in Beloit, US
The Beloit Water Tower features octagonal limestone walls measuring 36 feet in height and 8 feet in thickness, with a gradually tapering design.
Built in 1889 by architect J.B. Kinley, this structure originally contained a cypress tank holding 100,000 gallons of water for the growing Beloit community.
The tower represents an era when local businessmen invested in public infrastructure, financing the waterworks project to improve community health and fire protection.
Water Tower Park includes ADA accessible walkways leading to the structure, while the renovated Water Works Pump House now contains city administrative offices.
Despite plans for demolition after its decommissioning in 1935, the tower's exceptional construction quality prevented its removal, leading to its preservation.
