Bissell Street Water Tower

There are only a handful of these old standpipe water towers left around the country, and St. Louis has the most with three. The Bissell Street Water Tower is located in the north of the city with its more well known counterpart, the Grand Avenue Water Tower. That said, the tower is architecturally impressive as it rises above the surrounding street. Definitely an interesting and notable piece of St. Louis history.

This is a standpipe type of water tower. It was built as a tower using red bricks.

Catch the Grand bus @ Bissell Street Water Tower to Saint Louis University Hospital To Be With The Love Of My Life Make No Mistake When He Call I Come Running...The Grand Bus Make It So Much easier to get to other main bus lines and they run atleast ten minutes apart so u want have to be waiting forever and get where your going early and on time...

My honey stay near by so that's why I'm giving it 5 stars.

Rick james made a song about this place. This is the ghetto, but a beautiful area really. Lots of art and old buildings.
