Delta water tower

This has to be the creepiest water tower design I've ever seen. This strange, other-worldly look doesn't seem to go with the image of Delta's claim to fame advertised there. But I guess that makes little difference now.

 

The Delta Covered Bridge was built over the Skunk River in 1867. It was unique because of its Burr arch truss system, a style typical of many 19th century Pennsylvania Dutch bridges, and was the oldest bridge of this type west of the Mississippi. The Delta bridge had been restored in 1955 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Unfortunately, I arrived too late to photograph it, as it was destroyed by arson in 2003.
