Rusty Water Tower

Andy | Tuesday, July 07, 2020 | Best Blogger Tips
Located in Hastings, Ontario the tower is a left over of the Breithaupt Leather Company which operated from 1906 until 1982. This company was credited for keeping the town from ‘going under’ during the Great Depression.

  6. I love discovering an old water tower.
    I knew a woman who was swept away in their house by Hurricane Hazel as they slept. The firemen managed to rescue them somewhere south of Dundas st.

  7. Our town just replaced a water tower that looked like this one. The roosting vultures had to find a new home.
