Rusty look aided by a setting sun ...
Feb 1963 photo from
the archives of the Newspaper Museum In Collinsville when a new 6 foot
section was added to the top (and a wider standpile) & increased storage
from 50,000 gallons to 75,000.
Ted Wright Note: I recall a news story about Preston Stanley donning his scuba tank and helping with an earlier water tower refurbishment ... on the inside of the tank. Anyone knowing the year, please call or email. -- 3/23/2003
