Towering over downtown Lindstrom. Minnesota, is a giant Swedish coffee pot (some say teapot.) This is a water tower that was in use for 88 years, from 1902 to 1990, when it was replaced by a larger and more modern water tower. The old teapot tower continues to serve as a cultural landmark.
I photographed this unique water tower in late April, and missed seeing the steam which is said to rise from the spout during the cool evenings during summer months. The side of the coffee pot reads in Swedish: Välkommen till Lindström (Welcome to Lindstrom).
