Description

This image is one in a series of postcards from the Reg Near collection. The Water Tower was built in 1899 and is a solid stone structure which is representative of other stone buildings erected during this period in St. Marys. It is one of the best examples of industrial architecture constructed during the turn of the century in southwestern Ontario. The Water Tower served the Town for 90 years as the main tower until 1989 when a new tower was commissioned. The exceptionally preserved old tower remains an important symbol of the community, and was designated as a historical site in 1978.
