Water Tower - Imagine!

Most houses before and after the Civil War did not have running water inside the house. Have you ever seen those lovely pitchers and large bowls in very old home tours? The water usually came from a well or spring and you or your servants put it into those large pitchers. When you wanted to clean yourself, you poured the water into the bowl. The Mannings had a water tower built which pumped the water up into the tower and gravity fed it into the house. How wonderful! The sisters investigate the water tower.
