Beloit water tower

The Beloit water tower is a historic 1889 octagonal limestone water tower in Beloit, Wisconsin. The tower, completed in 1889 to serve the city's water needs, particularly fire protection, was built by a consortium of local businessmen. Eventually serving 25,000 customers, it was abandoned after the completion of an adjacent steel water tower with twice the capacity around 1935, and allowed to stand due to excessive demolition costs.
