Humboldt Historic Water Tower
Built in 1915, this tower is one of only four such structures remaining in the province. The exterior design is striking due to its resemblance of a coastal lighthouse. It is distinguished by a wooden shell pierced
by four slender windows spiraling to the top suggestive of an interior spiral staircase. An outside catwalk circles the cone-shaped cedar shingle roof. Technically referred to as a standpipe water reservoir, the interior of the tower consists of a riveted steel tank approximately 20 feet in diameter and 80 feet high. Humboldt's Water Tower Committee takes pridein the distinction of having the tower as only one of nine projects across Canada thus far selected as a part of the Heritage Canada Foundation Landmark Preservation Program. Tours are available during the summer months or throughout the year by appointment.
Located at the corner of 5th Street and 3rd Avenue
