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 138-foot (42 m) 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.
