    Estonia’s Water Towers (Veetornid): Soviet-era Modernism and More!

    Listed below are identified water towers (veetoenid) of Estonia. There are likely more than listed, but these are the ones found to date from resources across the internet. As additional information is collected, the list will be updated accordingly.

    What quickly becomes apparent when researching water towers in Estonia, are the substantial Soviet-era water tower residences (veetorn-elamu). These formidable modernist buildings place a large storage water tank atop a multi-story residential high-rise. The veetorn-elamu are often the tallest building in the city/town where they were built. Examples from below include towers in Narva, Kuressaare, Paide, Vändra, Tabasalu, and Viljandi.

    Putting an adaptive reuse twist on the mix of water tower and residences, the two images above show the historic 1914 Erika Street “Arsenal” Veetorn in Tallin, which is being converted from a water tower into a residential tower with added units atop the base structure. The project is expected to be completed in 2027.

    Peace/Rahu!

    Putting an adaptive reuse twist on the mix of water tower and residences, the two images above show the historic 1914 Erika Street “Arsenal” Veetorn in Tallin, which is being converted from a water tower into a residential tower with added units atop the base structure. The project is expected to be completed in 2027.

    Peace/Rahu!

    USA cities whose tallest building is residential

    Identified below at American cities whose tallest building is a residential structure. The list provided below does not include mixed use towers such as hotel/residential or office/residential. A minimum height of 175 feet was required for inclusion. States most represented on the list include the following (listed by number cities vs. towers):

    • Florida = 16 cities
    • New Jersey = 7 cities
    • Illinois = 6 cities
    • Michigan = 5 cities
    • New York = 4 cities or boroughs

    The tallest residential structures on the list range in location from traditional downtowns, midtowns, first-ring suburbs, outer suburbs, college towns, and vacation/retirements cities. Some of the cities fall into multiple categories like Ann Arbor which falls into three classifications as a college town with a traditional downtown and a distant Detroit suburb.

    It is also interesting to note that there was quite a gap between development boom times for such buildings in American cities. As the list shows, there were boomlets just before the Great Depression, during the Urban Renewal period of the 1960s/1970s, the early 2000s just before the Subprime Mortgage Crisis, and now during the 2020s. Hopefully, the current booklet will not end as disastrously as those three.

    USA cities whose tallest building is residential

    Identified below at American cities whose tallest building is a residential structure. The list provided below does not include mixed use towers such as hotel/residential or office/residential. A minimum height of 175 feet was required for inclusion. States most represented on the list include the following (listed by number cities vs. towers):

    • Florida = 16 cities
    • New Jersey = 7 cities
    • Illinois = 6 cities
    • Michigan = 5 cities
    • New York = 4 cities or boroughs

    The tallest residential structures on the list range in location from traditional downtowns, midtowns, first-ring suburbs, outer suburbs, college towns, and vacation/retirements cities. Some of the cities fall into multiple categories like Ann Arbor which falls into three classifications as a college town with a traditional downtown and a distant Detroit suburb.

    It is also interesting to note that there was quite a gap between development boom times for such buildings in American cities. As the list shows, there were boomlets just before the Great Depression, during the Urban Renewal period of the 1960s/1970s, the early 2000s just before the Subprime Mortgage Crisis, and now during the 2020s. Hopefully, the current booklet will not end as disastrously as those three.

    A pantone of classic Chicago: Printer’s Row & S. Dearborn

    “The excellence of every art must consist in the complete accomplishment of its purpose.” Source: Quote on the Second Franklin Building on Printer’s Row.

    Easily this blog author’s favorite part of Chicago’s Loop, the classic skyscrapers of Printer’s Row and South Dearborn Street evoke the city’s robust architectural and manufacturing heritage within a few square blocks. From the exterior iron and steel fire escapes, to the brick and masonry facades, to the literal heartbeat of city’s printing and publishing industry, this illustrative historic district in the South Loop showcases a fascinating aspect of Chicago’s muscle and might.

    Mosaic celebrating the “art” of printing at the entrance to the second Franklin Building (1912)

    “Arguably the most famous publisher located on Printers Row was Rand McNally, which was founded in 1856 in Chicago and opened its fourth headquarters in 1912 at 536 S. Clark. But perhaps the most-read publications came from Lakeside Press, a division of R.R. Donnelley & Sons. The company printed both the Montgomery Ward and Sears catalogs, as well as the Encyclopedia Britannica, Time and Life magazines, at 731 S. Plymouth.” Source: playeatlas.com

    Most of these magnificent buildings, once used for offices and/or production of print materials, have been lovingly restored and adapted into mixed uses or residential structures. Many of the ground floors now contain a delightful mix of small shops, pubs, and dining establishments.

    Frankly, today’s modern glass edifices can hardly compete for attention given the distinctive architectural embellishments and adornments set upon these classic Chicago high-rises. They are simply a visual feast for the eyes. One can also easily imagine the continuously rumbling sounds of gigantic printing presses, as the machinery churned out multitudes of documents, magazines, and publications.

    If you are in Chicago, skip the typical tourist venues around downtown and take a stroll along South Dearborn Street (and paralleling streets) through Printer’s Row. If you are lucky enough, perhaps the Printer’s Row Lit Fest will be taking place while you are visiting.

    Peace and enjoy the images in the post!

    “Arguably the most famous publisher located on Printers Row was Rand McNally, which was founded in 1856 in Chicago and opened its fourth headquarters in 1912 at 536 S. Clark. But perhaps the most-read publications came from Lakeside Press, a division of R.R. Donnelley & Sons. The company printed both the Montgomery Ward and Sears catalogs, as well as the Encyclopedia Britannica, Time and Life magazines, at 731 S. Plymouth.” Source: playeatlas.com

    Most of these magnificent buildings, once used for offices and/or production of print materials, have been lovingly restored and adapted into mixed uses or residential structures. Many of the ground floors now contain a delightful mix of small shops, pubs, and dining establishments.

    Frankly, today’s modern glass edifices can hardly compete for attention given the distinctive architectural embellishments and adornments set upon these classic Chicago high-rises. They are simply a visual feast for the eyes. One can also easily imagine the continuously rumbling sounds of gigantic printing presses, as the machinery churned out multitudes of documents, magazines, and publications.

    If you are in Chicago, skip the typical tourist venues around downtown and take a stroll along South Dearborn Street (and paralleling streets) through Printer’s Row. If you are lucky enough, perhaps the Printer’s Row Lit Fest will be taking place while you are visiting.

    Peace and enjoy the images in the post!

    A pantone of classic Chicago: Printer’s Row & S. Dearborn

    “The excellence of every art must consist in the complete accomplishment of its purpose.” Source: Quote on the Second Franklin Building on Printer’s Row.

    Easily this blog author’s favorite part of Chicago’s Loop, the classic skyscrapers of Printer’s Row and South Dearborn Street evoke the city’s robust architectural and manufacturing heritage within a few square blocks. From the exterior iron and steel fire escapes, to the brick and masonry facades, to the literal heartbeat of city’s printing and publishing industry, this illustrative historic district in the South Loop showcases a fascinating aspect of Chicago’s muscle and might.

    As can be seen from the data, there have been two great boom period for constructing tall student housing towers. The first in the 1960s and early 1970s (46 from the list) were principally on-campus dormitories those the baby boom generation. The second, was in the 2005-2020 (24 from the list) time period as private firms constructed and offered varied high-rise off-campus living for students. This second boom period appears to be continuing well into the 2020s with nine more towers completed or underway.

    As more such towers are identified, they will be added to the list if they are the tallest for a particular university. Please note, in cases where the exact height is not known , “~” is used to show the height is an estimate based on the number of floors times 10 feet per floor.

    American city skylines dominated by a single tower

    Listed below are cities across the United States whose skyline is dominated by a single skyscraper that is head and shoulders above its neighbors in the central business district. Even cities with a number of skyscrapers like Oklahoma City and Albany, NY can have one tower that is significantly taller than all the others. Furthermore, if the 1,907 foot tall Legends Tower ends up being built as proposed in Oklahoma City, it will be 2.26 times taller that the current tallest building in the city, the Devon Energy Center which stands at 844 feet.

    Proposed Legends Tower in Oklahoma City with the Devon Energy Center to its left – Source: ops.org

    More than a third of the cities represented (5 of 14) are from the Great Plains – a region more often associated with sprawl than towering skyscrapers. If any other examples of cities in the USA with a dominating were overlooked, please feel free to pass them along. Peace!
