Update on Historic Preservation in University Heights
2020 has been a busy year for the University Heights Historical Society. We created new historic walking tours, videos and maps, and advocated for preservation of historic landmarks and trees in University Heights.
University Heights Street Sign
The University Heights Street sign, one of our community’s most distinctive landmarks, was designed by Kevin Whaley and installed in 1997.
University Heights Water Tower
Claimed to be the largest municipal elevated water tower in the United States on its completion in 1924, the University Heights Water Tower was instrumental in the development of the surrounding neighborhood.
