[edit]DescriptionGoodyear Water Tower, Amherst, New York - 20200715 - 02.jpg |
English: The Goodyear Water Tower, east side of Old Tower Lane between Raine Drive and Northill Drive, Amherst, New York, July 2020. The only known octagonal water tower in Erie County, the wood-frame structure dates to about 1920, stands 65 feet in height, and is built atop a well with a wooden tank that initially had a capacity of 14,000 gallons; an attached shed (seen here to the right of the tower) was built in the 1940s to accommodate a second water tank, adding 10,000 gallons to its capacity. At the outset, the tank was built to supply water to the Josephine Goodyear Convalescent Home for Children, a 95-acre complex of then-rural land located at 6380 Main Street. The widow of a Buffalo lumber merchant and railroad magnate, Josephine Looney Goodyear (1851-1915) purchased the complex a year before her own death to provide continuing care to poor children recently discharged from the hospital in an environment that was pastoral and conducive to good health; it included vast vegetable gardens and meadows tended by the patients recreationally. The facility closed in 1955 and was sold to the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of the Divine Child, a Catholic religious order, for use as a country retreat and convent. Nowadays that, too, has been closed and the land sold off again, to local land developer Marrano Homes who in 2018 unveiled the Windstone Townhouses patio-home development, with the old water tower as its centerpiece. |
