Kentucky Street Reservoir
The 6 million gallon reservoir rose 35 feet above street level. Steps led to a walkway at the reservoir's top, which became a popular promenade affording scenic views of the entire city. The reservoir, however, soon became too small to meet the needs of the growing city. The site became a public park in 1890 and took on its current name -- Fairview Park -- in 1897.
