Compton Hill Water Tower
Posted by Ron (Saint Louis, United States) on 3 March 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
The Compton Hill Water Tower at Grand and Russell Boulevards was opened for service in 1899. It is one of Saint Louis' three remaining watertowers.

I like how you always find so much beauty in the things right around you. Impressive light.

Excellent and interesting. The structure is unique in it's design. The clouds are beautiful. I like the shadow on the building from the nearby trees. It is such a wonderful photo they may be able to use it in the historical society of your area. Very nice.

St. Louis is a big place, so it is not really surprising, but as many times as I have been to St. Louis I have never seen this or even seen photos of it. Great shot! Cool water tower.
