St. Marys Heritage Landmark


The water tower was built in 1899 and is a solid stone structure which is representative of other stone buildings erected during this period within the Town of St. Marys. It is one of the best examples of industrial architecture constructed during the turn of the century in Southwestern Ontario.

    A nice tower indeed and an optimistic city slogan. Nice one Andy.

    I bet there aren't many of these stone towers left in North America any longer. This is wonderful.

    Is it still used as a water tower, or has the city morphed to a modern one. Lovely shot.
