Review:
The Beloit Water Tower is a 100-foot tall historic limestone octagonal water tower built in 1889 in Beloit, Wisconsin on a bluff overlooking the Rock River, just north of Beloit College. The tower was built to serve the city's water needs, especially to facilitate fire protection. It was privately funded and built by a group of local businessmen. The tower’s pump house was the first municipal water system in Beloit. It was abandoned after the new steel water tower was completed in 1935. The old tower was left to stay because it was more expensive to demolish it. The stonehenges were left in place where the steel gallon tank used to be. Today, the stone water tower is a community landmark and a popular spot for taking photos.
