The Compton Hill Water Tower in St. Louis, Missouri, stands as a remarkable testament to the harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetics from a bygone era. This mid-19th century engineering marvel, situated in Compton Hill Reservoir Park, is one of the few remaining standpipe towers in the United States and has been recognized as a historic landmark since 1972.
Preserved and maintained through the collaborative efforts of the St. Louis Water Division and the Water Tower Park Preservation Society, the tower is perched atop the city's highest point and offers visitors a glimpse into the city's rich history. Surrounded by a picturesque park featuring a lily pond, walking paths, and a captivating statue honoring the city's newspaper heritage, the Compton Hill Water Tower is a must-see attraction for those seeking to explore St. Louis' charming and historic neighborhoods.
