Detail of two columns at Chestnut and Walnut Avenues. Cast-iron urns with intricate scroll handles stand on stone pillars covered with cement. The column caps are single pieces of six-inch granite. The water tower and windmill to the north provided “an unlimited supply of the finest water – free to all residents.” (See advertisement text.) The blades and tail fin of the windmill, blurred by motion and barely visible, indicate a westerly breeze. The water tower was replaced by a small bottling facility, now a residence at 57 Chestnut.
