"The tower was designed by William R. Coats and built as part of an elaborate city waterworks project that began in 1889. Located on the highest point in Ypsilanti, the tower was built in 1890 at a cost of $21,435.63 (equivalent to $578,660 in 2020). - Wikipedia"
"It's certainly historic and whatnot but think twice about living near it. There's constantly construction on or near it, and the city never posts any updates on what's going on with it. Also this thing really is ugly as sin. There's no two ways about it."
"This is a historic water tower of unique design. Construction began in 1889 but it was not fully erected until 1890. It is appropriately located right between where the two legs of M-17 split apart. The bushes around the base are well trimmed."
"This water tower rises to the occasion. It's a very firm and stable structure that is made from rock hard material. I'm sure the people of Ypsilanti are very thankful that it squirts hundreds of gallons fluids to households to provide them with running water."
"Lost a pair of glasses one winter on my way to the university, found them miraculously fine and sitting on the porch safe from the street here. This water tower saved my glasses 11/10 water tower."
