March 29: Crosswicks Water Tower

3/29/2018

1 Comment

 
The Crosswicks Water Tower stood next to what later became the Crosswicks Post Office for 84 years. After the Crosswicks Water Co. was sold to Garden State Water Co. in the 70's, residents continued to be serviced by the tower until it was dismantled in 1996.
Fun Fact: Until 1962, residents who didn't have meters were billed according to how many faucets their home had.
