How cool, I never knew that they housed water tanks. What a nice way to hide them. Some of the towers I mentioned are very ornate and have some great design elements to them. What a great photo of the water tank. I am now interested in the others I have only photographed from the exterior. Which was about 10 years ago.

Loved the article in the Tribune. As a 6th generation Chicago native I have many similar attachments to the secrets and history of chicagos past. One of my favorite secrets to photograph and visit have been factory - school clock towers. These are very prevalent on the northside river and ravenswood areas. You can find many of them along Ravenswood avenue and the Chicago river stemming of off Irvi

My dad use to show me the old war "Missile" or battery armaments that are steel covers that were put in along the lake during world war II . I am not sure how many are left after the removing of the Rocks at Addison, but I was wondering if anyone else has seen these or would know where they are now?
