Water tower converted into a tri-level home. Built in the late 1800s to service steam engines that ran from Los Angeles to San Diego. In the 1940’s water was pumped from an artesian well on Bolsa Chica bluffs to the tower to service Sunset Beach and Surfside. The tower was deactivated in 1974 and was purchased and renovated beginning in 1980. The tank portion was lowered to ground level and made into a home which was then lifted by crane back into position on 21 wooden legs.
