Notes
  • 1983 Charles E. Peterson Prize, Honorable Mention
  • Significance: The Paxton Water Tower was built in 1887. The tower and attached pumphouse were erected to increase water pressure in the mains, laid a few years earlier. The Mayor of Paxton, J. P. Middlecoff, contracted with Fairbanks, Morse, and Company of Chicago to build the Tower for $6,000 ($8,000 in bonds). The 80-foot high octagonal brick tower and four interior 12 x 12 inch timber columns supported an 18-foot high round wooden tank with conical roof, which had a capacity of 60,000 gallons. During the mid-1940's the tank was removed. Lancet windows with double row-lock moldings and corbeled brick courses at the top of the tower provide both decorative and functional details.
