About This File

The Latham water tower was built around 1955 in Latham, NY. The towerholds three million gallons of water. The tower has become somewhat ofa landmark in the area, and can be seen from most of Latham. The toweris going to by knocked down soon, due to its obstruction of Runway 28of the Albany International Airport. This removal is to be paidforalmost entirely by the FAA, and no expence will fall on the taxpayers.Because of this, I have set the demolish cost to $0. There should notbe any dependencies.

Wow, someone else from the Albany area. Well done, I drive by it all the time and you nailed it. It sucks that the capital district has so few landmarks...

...you should also do the 'winking' water tower that you can see across the Hudson River from 787- but we're probably the only two people who would get it.

This lot is functional Aquafresh, that tank held oil, not water. And they're taking it down. http://www.capitalnews9.com/content/top_stories/default.asp?ArID=68769&addvid=32877 There is a video here, along with a story about it

Yeah, you're right it is the king fuels tower that I was talking about- I didn't know it was gone- but hey, we still got Pasano Paints and Crossgates Mall. (excluding the landmarks in Albany)

Hmm. I live near Albany, and I always thought it was a bland community, with the enormous E. Corning Tower and a bunch of early 20th century architecture. This seems to further that. How dissapointing. But your lot deserves a 9.

Brancra, how could you say that? Albny is the most famous place youve never heard of, and the architecture is an interesting blend of past architects trying to be futuristic, future architects mimiking the past, and architects who were just plain crazy! Like the guy who designed the Egg!
