Of the Ohio Hospital for Epileptics

—National Register of Historic Places, 1978 —

These three stone water towers were erected
by local craftsmen in 1892 and serviced the
Ohio Hospital for Epileptics until 1950. The
sandstone of the uncoursed masonry walls
was quarried from the surrounding hills. The
hospital facility, a former Union Hospital site
during the Civil War, was the first of its
kind in the United States. The towers were
restored 1981-1982.
