Rockford Tower

Wilmington, DE

Rockford Tower looks like a stone observation tower but was built around a massive municipal water tank at the turn of the twentieth century. The roughly 115-foot structure includes an observation level that opens only on scheduled days, turning a piece of water infrastructure into one of Wilmington’s stranger viewpoints.
