| Additional Information: | Cultural resources survey completed in 2023 for proposed FCC antenna collocation includes consultant recommendation that subject water tower is "Potentially Eligible" for the NRHP as a local example of a riveted "Tin Man" water tower. No formal evaluation completed. Consultant report also estimates construction for tower circa 1955-1960, but this contradicts the tower tag date of 1921. Actual construction date is believed to be 1921. |
