MEDIEVAL TOWER
FOR WATER WORKS
City Architect Draws on Old
Style at Belmont Fill
tration Plant

A water tower resembling in many
ways battle tower of medieval days
has been designed as an addition and
improvement to the Belmont filtration
plant. DO
The tower, standing $50 feet in the
air. will be visible from all parts of
Fairmount Park and West Philadel-
phia. A lantern tower will be placed
nt the apex of the conical top and an
electric searchlight will throw out its
rays for miles around
Chief Davis, of the Water Bureau,
planned the tower as one of the I'm.
provcmcnts to give West Philadelphia
m adequate water supply, and it will
be used in connection with the pro-
posed mechanical filters which the Chief
of the Water Pureau is planning. The
proposed filter will provide sufficient
amount of water to meet the needs of
hundreds of homes which are being
built in the western part of the city.
The tower will serve as a combined
standpipe for the higher parts of West
Philadelphia and wash water tank to
be used in connection with the proposed
mechanical filters. The tower will be
used to eQualize the pumpage from the
Deiinont Hiter Dets WHcre there IL u
fuctuating demand for water. The Nor
nan style of architecture was followed
by John p. B. Sinkler. city architect,
in planning the tower. Constructed of
brick and limestone trimmings, the mas
sive tower will be thirty feet in diaiue-
ter and inclOsc a water tank having q
100. .000- gallon capacity.
1t is estimated the tower will cost
S175 900 to complete. and when it is
finished 1t will replace the unsightly
black standpipe at Georges Hill.
