Title
English: Women visiting Volunteer Park Water Tower, circa 1925
Description
English: In 1901, Seattle's Water Department built a reservoir at Volunteer Park to supply water to the growing city. The department added a water tower in 1906. Both are built on the highest part of Capitol Hill. As of 2018, climbing the tower's 106 steps for a good view in all directions remains a popular activity for Seattle residents and visitors.

In this photo, two women, one holding a racket, seem to be looking for something in the small pond in front of the Volunteer Park water tower. Another woman looks down from the 75-foot tower's observation level.
