2016- "This standpipe replaces the original built by the city in 1890 which collapsed due to a large ice cap. The Pittsburgh-DeMoines Steel Corporation built the current structure. They are most famous for building the St. Louis Arch. They recommended the selection of an elevated steel tank encased in a concrete shell at a cost of $27,000. The shell furnishes protection from the cold and protects the interior water tower from the pressure of the wind. As you look up at the structure please take time to note the exterior pilasters, battlement cresting, arrow windows and quarter moon designs that would be found on medieval castles. this was intended to resemble the 1897 Clark Co. Jail and was to have been painted brown."
