A major local landmark for Mount Washington is the Mount Washington Water Tower, a concrete water tower that went into service in November 1940.^{[4] [5]} It stands near the corner of Beechmont Avenue and Campus Lane. It holds 3,000,000 gallons of water and, according to an article from 1940, stands 171 feet tall.^[4] However, a plaque outside the tower gives the dimensions as 151 feet tall and 111 feet in diameter. The tower was built in the Art Deco style typical of the era and other buildings in Greater Cincinnati, such as Cincinnati Union Terminal. It is owned and operated by the Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW), which gives the height at 198 feet.
