Originally built in 1898, this was a standpipe used to equalize water pressure for the water supply of the City of St. Louis. It was retired from use in 1929.
A restoration was completed in 1999 and prior to COVID, it was open from April to November for tours. Hopefully, it be able to re-open for tours again soon. I'd like to take a tour and take photos from the top. This one was taken from a moving car - HH was driving us north on S. Grand Avenue.
