Designed in 1867 by architect William W. Boyington, the Chicago Water Tower has been
the City's most cherished landmark for over a century. The Water
Tower was erected in
1869 to house a 13-
foot-high, 3-foot diameter standpipe,
which served to equalize pressure and to minimize the pulsations of the
water flowing in the
mains. Indigenous to Illinois, the tower was
constructed using Joliet limestone block which later proved to be an invaluable decision. On the morning
of October 9, 1871, the
city of Chicago was
engulfed in the flames
of the Great Chicago Fire which leveled nearly every building in Chicago with
the exception of the
Water Tower.
