Brainerd Water Tower
Brainerd Water Tower, Historical water tower in Brainerd, United States.
The reinforced concrete water tower rises 141 feet with a bowl diameter of 40 feet, designed to hold 300,000 gallons of municipal water.
Built between 1918 and 1920, this structure marked a milestone as the first all-concrete elevated water tank used by a municipality in the United States.
The structure earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, reflecting early 20th-century municipal infrastructure development.
Located at the intersection of Sixth and Washington Streets, the tower requires ongoing maintenance to address issues with its roof and exterior surfaces.
The water tower shares its architectural design with only one other structure in the United States, the Pipestone Water Tower, both created by L.P. Wolff.
