Belton Standpipe, Historical water tower in Belton, South Carolina.
The Belton Standpipe reaches 155 feet in height and features a reinforced concrete construction with a 165,000-gallon water tank at its summit.
Built between 1908 and 1909 by J.C. McMurray, the Belton Standpipe stands as one of the earliest examples of reinforced concrete water storage facilities in the United States.
The structure earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, leading to the creation of an annual festival celebrating its significance.
Located on McGee Way near Campbell Street, the water tower continues to serve its original purpose while functioning as a regional reference point.
The Belton Standpipe holds the distinction of being the tallest among three remaining standpipe water towers across South Carolina.
