Washburn Water Tower in Minneapolis.

The Washburn Water Tower, a prominent landmark in South Minneapolis, is visible above the tree line. Constructed in 1912, this elevated tank was designed to store and distribute water to the surrounding neighborhoods, ensuring consistent water pressure. Its distinctive domed roof and concrete structure are characteristic of early 20th-century water infrastructure.
