Reading Standpipe
The Reading Standpipe was a historic water tower atop a hill near the corner of Auburn and Beacon Streets in Reading, Massachusetts. The tower was built in 1890-91 as part of Reading's first water supply system, and was for many years a significant community landmark. The tower was built of steel and wrought iron in a style reminiscent of medieval fortifications.
The tower was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It was demolished in April 1999, and replaced by a modern water tower.
