Leaning Tower of Britten

The Leaning Tower Truck Stop closed in the mid-1980s after an electrical fire damaged it; a small remaining portion operates as a local truck repair shop.

[1][2][3][4] Deliberately leaning at a roughly 10-degree angle, the tower is a popular tourist destination.

A small gravel road is on the site for parking and taking pictures.

During Christmas, the city of Groom lights the large multicolored star on top of the tower.

[5] Images of the water tower are common in Route 66 photography books.
