Asset Overview

The Roland Water Tower is a relic of Baltimore's early water supply system. It was designed by William J. Fizone and built in 1905 as a 211,000 gallon water tank to supply the residents in nearby neighborhoods. The structure stands at 148-foot-tall. In 1930, the tower was taken out of service when a new reservoir system was implemented. In 1960, the landmark became a turnaround spot for streetcars. Recently, the structure received funding for restoration and the park space surrounding it. 4210 Roland Ave, Baltimore, MD 21210 **1911 Postcard Image ** ![](https://bit.ly/3paXMjp) Source: [Baltimore Heritage](https://explore.baltimoreheritage.org/items/show/197), [Roland Tower Website](https://rolandwatertower.org/history/)
