The site for the Kokomo Gas Tower was cleared in 1954 and the structure was completed in 1955. It had a surface area of 600,000 square feet and was painted three times, requiring 2,000 gallons of paint. The 387 foot high tower was used to hold 12 million cubic feet of gas and also served as a reference point for Grissom Air Force Base. Because of the high cost of maintenance, the tower was imploded on September 7, 2003.
