Teapot Water Tower

Pretty cool teapot water tower. It resides in a nice, quiet little town.

No tempest in a teapot in Spirit Lake.

Teapot Water Tower

Originally built in 1921, a teapot is on a tower raised to 113 feet. In 2005 it was not in use and in need of repair, so the city restored it and put it back into service, at the corner of Maine St. and 8th Ave.
