Constructed in 1906, Hendy Ironworks was an industrial pioneer in Sunnyvale. Originally producing equipment for mining gold and silver, the company supplied marine engines in both World War I and World War II. In continuous operation from 1906 to 1946, the company was purchased by Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1947. The water tower stored Sunnyvale's emergency water supply in the early 1900's.
