This finely-built water tower is symbolic of the high quality craftsmanship employed in Victorian engineering projects. The variety of materials used in its construction enliven this functional building allowing it to make an attractive as well as historical contribution to maritime landscape of Greenore. Though part of the structure has been converted to office use, it continues to retain its original function as a water tower.
