The Ypsilanti Water Tower, located in Ypsilanti, Michigan, is a historic landmark designed by architect William R. Coats in 1890 as part of a city waterworks project. Standing at 147 feet tall with a unique Queen Anne style exterior, the tower has become a well-known local landmark and point of reference for residents and visitors alike.
Despite its serious purpose of storing water and generating electricity for city street lamps, the tower is often humorously referred to as the "Brick Dick" due to its phallic shape. It has gained international recognition, being ranked as the World's Most Phallic Building by Cabinet magazine in 2003, adding to its quirky charm and local lore.
