Description
Tank houses were an important part of the redwood Barons wealth, the kits sold for gold currency only and new were around $1500.00
Tank houses are an important part of California's historical heritage and the state's early material culture. Many thousands were built in both town and country from the 1850s to the 1930s, almost exclusively of redwood — tower, water tank, siding and roof shingles — at a time when the state’s abundant redwood forests seemed inexhaustible. The windmill, which stood over the well, was usually attached to the tower, but sometimes stood on a separate tower.
Tank houses became obsolete with the coming of deep, drilled wells and electric pumps in the countryside and water mains in the towns. Almost all of the hand-dug wells have been filled in now, and most of the windmills have disappeared. The remaining tank houses are an endangered species, threatened by constant commercial, residential, industrial and agricultural development. Their numbers dwindle with each passing year.
