The water tower in Cotton Plant (in Woodruff County in Eastern Arkansas and just a few miles from my hometown of Brinkley) has been recognized as a historic structure.
It has just been named to the National Register of Historic Places.
It was built in 1935 with assistance from the Public Works Administration (PWA), a federal relief program in existence in the Great Depression times.
I'll be writing about the water tower pretty soon for the Three Rivers Edition of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. In the meantime, take a look at what www.arkansaspreservation.org has to say about it.
