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.
