The Chicago Water Tower stands at 806 Michigan Avenue on the Magnificent Mile in Chicago's Near North Side, Illinois. Designed by William W. Boyington in the Gothic Revival style, it once housed a standpipe that regulated water pressure and supported firefighting. The tower survived the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 while surrounding buildings burned, and it is a contributing property on the National Register of Historic Places.
