The Frank T. Riley Memorial, otherwise known as the Waldo Water Tower, is located in south Kansas City, Missouri,
and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The castle-like tower was a functioning water tower from 1920 until 1957.
It was pictured each year from 1929 to 1946 in the World Book Encyclopedia as an early example of reinforced concrete.
In 1975 it was listed as Missouri's first American Water Landmark by the American Water Works Association.
The 12-sided tower stands 134 feet tall, with walls 18 inches thick, and a capacity of one million gallons.
The tower is topped by crenellations and 12 arched windows.
It was constructed using a 14-day continuous pour.
Tower Park is a lovely park in Waldo, but should be considered a high-muggle area. This is an easy find for those who know this type of hide.
