Kessler Park Reservoir in Kansas City - Abandoned.

Here's the information I found:

 

"In the early 1900s, Kansas City’s Fire and Water Commission proposed building a reservoir to provide water to the growing number of industrial industries in the area.

Construction began in 1919 and the Northeast Reservoir was completed in 1920.

“Overall it was supposed to hold about 16 million gallons (of water),” said Devin Wetzel, Superintendent of Park and Natural Resources with Kansas City Parks and Recreation.

Soon after it was in use, cracks developed under the enormous amount of water pressure. Other water sources and treatment centers were developed, and the reservoir was drained and left empty."

 

This place kinda gave me a creepy!!
