Oppo Rally rare finds.

I think one of the cheapest for the points is the water towers, and they are all over, so rightly so.

“57. #YakkoWakkoAndDot – 25 pts – A water tower”

So, instead of the normal water towers in neighborhoods and small towns I choose for some rarities and old timers. I introduce you to the 3 Water Towers of St. Louis. 3 of seven left standing in the US. Built in the late 1800’s not to provide water, but to help regulate pressure with the steam pumps they had back in the day.

More reading material here and here.

Grand Ave tower built in 1871 (The white one)

Bissell Street tower built in 1885-1886 (Red one)

Compton Tower and water reserve built in 1897

They don’t make them like they used to.
