The tower is one of several sites selected in the nation for its historical significance to the community as a water supply and the first designated site in the State of Michigan.\r\nIn 1987 the Ypsilanti Heritage Foundation honored the structure by designating the tower as a historical architecture in Ypsilanti.\r\nThe landmark retains the original design as completed on February 3, 1890, and has been in continuous service since that time. The 147-foot high elevated reservoir contains a steel tank with a 250,000-gallon capacity. The main purpose for the reservoir is to store a reserve supply of water to feed cast iron mains constructed in 1885. The elevation provides sufficient gravity pressure to furnish fire service in emergencies.\r\nIn planning the design, Mr. W. R. Coats, construction engineer, considered purpose as well as overall appearance. Resting on a foundation of concrete mortar six inches deep, the substructure walls, made of Joliet stone, are 40-inches thick at the base and 24-inches at the top.\r\nConstructed on top of the walls were 10-inch steel I-beams spaced two feet apart and crossing the walls at right angles. The steel reservoir tank rests on the beams and walls of the substructure. Finally, at 147-feet above ground level, a cupola with glazed windows. The total cost of construction was $21,368.\r\nThe tower was constructed with local day labor. To Mr. Coats chagrin, the workers constructed three stone crosses, one over the outside west door and two others inside the tower, to protect them from injury. In fact, there were no fatal accidents during construction.\r\nTo maintain the solidity and beauty of the tower, YCUA had the structure renovated in 1976 at the cost of $114,694. This involved reshingling the roof, replacing beams and barriers, repainting and other general repairs. In 1987 YCUA reconstructed the entry doors and has attempted to maintain the original appearance of the tower.\r\nAs a landmark and attractive physical feature, the Ypsilanti Water Tower continues to be a symbol of the city of Ypsilanti. The Stone Tower is located on the corner of Cross Street and Washtenaw Avenue in the City of Ypsilanti. Written by Jeff Castro, YCUA Director. Editor's Note: In 2003, the Ypsilanti Tower won the title of \"The World's Most Phallic Building,\" in Cabinet magazine. Photo: Jeff Castro"],
