Enligt borgmästaren i Ashkum är figuerna ett minne från det tillfället då man skulle måla tornet och det färgtestet som då gjordes. |
Enligt samme borgmästare tillkom flaggan senare när man skulle måla om tornet, vilket skedde en kort tid efter den 11 september 2001. |

Skylten nämner också att reservoartillverkaren var Pittsburgh - Des Moines Steel Co från Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania och att tornfundamentet tillverkades av H. J. Eppel & Co från Pontiac, Illinois. |

The 1918 book Manufacturing and Wholesale Industries of Chicago by J. Seymour Currey reports: |
Located at the head of Robey street [Damen Avenue], facing north on Thirty-ninth street [Pershing Road], in the exact frontage between Ashland and Western avenues, is the new Tower and Sprinkler building, from which water for fire protection purposes will be distributed through the utility tunnel system to every building in the new district. The building is 40 feet by 40 feet in ground area and contains eight floors and basement. An automatic electric high-speed elevator has been installed in the building, making these floors most attractive for office and light manufacturing use. |
At the top of the tower are two gigantic steel water tanks, one nesting in the other, each tank having a capacity of 125,000 gallons of water, thereby giving a total fire protection storage water supply of 250,000 gallons [2 x ca 475 m³ = 950 m³]. These tanks are entirely enclosed in brick and terra cotta, and on each of the four sides of the Tower, near the top, is a large clock face, each nearly 13 feet in diameter [ca 4 m], and lighted by electricity. Within the circle of clock figures is the seal of the Central Manufacturing District in color. |

The sign to the left: The weather that day when the pictures were taken could not be better, and therefore no reason to keep the Observation Tower closed due to weather. The emblem to the right was sitting on a pickup truck belonging to The Village of Peoria Heights. |
