World’s Largest Catsup Bottle

Officially known as the World’s Largest Catsup Bottle, it’s actually a water tower built in 1949 for the G.S. Suppiger Company, bottlers of the popular Brooks Catsup. Towering at 170 feet tall, this structure resembles a giant bottle of ketchup and can hold up to 100,000 gallons of water. Designed in the shape of a Brooks Catsup bottle, it’s a colorful, nostalgic reminder of mid-20th-century advertising and industrial design.
