WATER TOWER IN NYSA
The Water Tower was built at the highest elevation in the city, near Fort Prussia in 1907. This massive reinforced concrete structure was named "Bismarkturm" in honor of Otto von Bismarck. The tower served many functions. It served as a part of the waterworks system, an observation tower, housed the Memorial Hall of the Fallen, and the courtyard served as a venue for various ceremonies.
