If your not from Michigan let me explain, this water tower is iconic and has a plethora of nicknames due to its unique....shape. I'm guessing you readers can fill in the blank as to what some of those nicknames may be. Regardless of what it's called it's the most recognizable water tower in southeast Michigan!

It's certainly historic and whatnot but think twice about living near it. There's constantly construction on or near it, and the city never posts any updates on what's going on with it. Also this thing really is ugly as sin. There's no two ways about it.
This is a historic water tower of unique design. Construction began in 1889 but it was not fully erected until 1890. It is appropriately located right between where the two legs of M-17 split apart. The bushes around the base are well trimmed.
perfect water tower size. It’s the movement of the water that matters, not how big it is.
Just go because not much else if you are traveling through Ypsilanti.
