Water Tower on Kinsmoor Avenue

A Polaroid snapshot of the old water tower behind the Foster Park Plaza shopping Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It is actually located on Kinsmoor Avenue, just east of Brooklyn Avenue. It has "Fort Wayne - Founded On The Rivers" painted on it. There are three rivers in Fort Wayne. The Saint Marys River flows into the city from the southeast, and the Saint Joseph River flows into the city from the northeast. The two join on the eastern edge of downtown Fort Wayne to form the Maumee River, which flows northeast to Lake Erie.

This is still being used by Fort Wayne City Utilities. There used to be an identical water tower on the city's east side (this one is on Fort Wayne's west side), but it was demolished in 2017.
