The North Point Water Tower was built in 1873 to assist in providing water to the city, which at the time was pumped from Lake Michigan. The 175-foot limestone tower houses a 120-foot tall, four-foot diameter standpipe, which cushioned the pulsation of the steam-powered pump. The tower was designated a local landmark in 1968, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
