Freedom Tower

Background Information

The Freedom Tower is 171 feet tall. It was originally designed as a water tower by Captain Howard Nurse. It was used as an emergency water supply, and it held 500,000 gallons of water. It was not targeted by the Japanese on December 7, 1941, because they thought it was a religious monument. However, the bombs on other parts of the base caused it to drain water. In 1969, a tradition was started to light the tower during the holidays.
