Anyone who walks the Magnificent Mile certainly knows about Chicago's famous water tower. It is one of the oldest in the country and one of the few structures to survive the Great Fire. But suburban residents don't actually have to head to Michigan Avenue to find historic water towers. A couple of Western Suburbs boast some pretty significant water towers of their own!
