Description
Perry, New York’s old water tower, located near Silver Lake, was built during the Great Depression with the aid of federal Public Works Administration (PWA) funds. The PWA supplied an $18,293 grant; the total cost of the project was $41,336. Work occurred between January and June 1936.
Perry has a new water tower; Living New Deal believes the PWA structure has since been demolished.
