Preservation Project
In 1937, the town of Englewood, TN
received money from Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal to upgrade the water system.
Part of that system was the Water Tower that stands 144’ tall and is an icon
for our town. Efforts were made by a grassroots committee, the Water Tower
Preservation Committee, to get the Water Tower placed on the National Register
of Historic Places as the first Water Tower in Tennessee to receive that
designation. This was achieved in 2020.
Funds were raised to restore the Tower to its original condition. That project was completed in July 2022.
The committee is now authorized
to turn the area into a pocket park. A
brick memorial will be part of honoring those who worked on the project and
those who gave money to make the Tower painting possible. Additional bricks can be added to honor
others.
