We recently stopped by the new Louisville Water Company Museum. Although we have passed the Water Tower literally thousands of times - it was the first time we stopped for a closer look, with cameras in hand. What was most intriguing was the decision of the builders in the figures they placed around the tower. Around the Greek Revival Column are 8 figures of early Greek mythology and one lone figure of an American Indian. The tower was built in 1857.
