Cap Wigington- Clarence 'Cap' Wigington was a city of Saint Paul architect from 1915-1949. He designed the Highland Park Water tower. The chalk and ink image below from 1922 shows Wigington's architectural rendering how the tower would look prior to being built in 1927-28.
About the Highland Water Tower- The 127 foot Highland tower was constructed in 1928 at the intersection of Snelling Avenue and Ford Parkway in Saint Paul. The octagonal structure features a base of smoothly dressed, random ashlar Kasota stone, a tan, pressed brick shaft with several windows, and a soursed ashlar Bedford stone lookout area. A band of small stone arches separates the base of the tower from the shaft, and a stone dentil course, decorated with carved stone down spouts and shields, separates the top of the shaft from the observation level. The roof is finished in glazed tile and capped with a small cupola. The tower is still used today to help supply water to the Highland area.
