Constructed in 1904, this water tower was built three years before Oklahoma Statehood, and two years before the impressive Blaine County Courthouse which stands nearby.
It is a cylindrical tank with a cone-shaped top standing on four legs and painted white. The town name is painted on the tank.
At the base of one leg, a metal plate documents its age and manufacturer, and reads: "1904 Chicago Bridge & Iron Works - Chicago, Ill - Builders".
