The concrete Sulphur Springs Water Tower is an iconic structure on Tampa’s landscape, sitting adjacent to Interstate-275 as you head into downtown. It features a buttressed cantilever foundation, with these ornate floret designs that decorate the base on each of the buttress elements. The tower could store some 200,000 gallons of water when it was operational, with water being pumped from Sulphur Springs on the Hillsborough River. The USF-DHHC partnered with the Sulphur Springs Museum and Heritage Center to establish a preservation documentation effort at this important site.
