This water tower was pretty much in my grandfather's back/side yard as I remember growing up. My eldest son recently visited Thamesville to find my grandparents' gravestone and to look up the old house. I told him to look for this water tower (as I don't remember the street), but all he could locate was a tall green silo-type tower that was in a park area.
Would love to know if the old tower was taken down and replaced (then I would assume that the old house was knocked down) and on what street this old tower was on? My grandfather's name was Ernest Forde Switzer Peacock, better to known to the town local's as Scotty. He passed away in 1977.
Thank you for any info you could provide.
