History

Constructed circa 1902 of concrete blocks, the 35-foot water tower was topped with a 22,000 gallon water tank and a windmill apparatus that pumped water to the mansion from the seven wells on the property. Adjacent to the north of the water tower, the estate cutting garden provided fresh flowers to the mansion daily. Within the cutting garden was Mrs. Harkness' dog cemetery, nestled beneath weeping cut leaf Japanese maples.
