This a pretty typical water tower, it's on Houston, this is the Sullivan Street side; I usually see it from Thompson, the next block over. One thing I like about Houston Street is the big sky effect, few buildings are more than six stories high, mostly they're 19th century walk-ups, and the street itself is quite wide with a meridian in the middle so there's an open space that's rare for the city. Even the narrow cross streets, Sullivan, Thompson, MacDougal, turn into canyons; six stories high or not. Houston is a great place to watch the weather; and running east to west and back again, there's always an interesting sunset.
