The Roland Park Water Tower is located in northern Baltimore near the Hoes Heights neighborhood. It stands in a small park at the intersection of West University Parkway and Roland Avenue. The structure was built by John Stack & Sons following the design of architect William J. Fizone. Completed in 1905, the tower only served its intended purpose for twenty-five years, but over one hundred years later it continues to draw attention. In the past year a fence has been put up around the tower and it appears plans are in place to renovate the iconic building.

In 1940, the property surrounding the tower was turned into a makeshift transit terminal, when trackless trolleys from the newly converted #10 began using the “Water Tower Loop as their Northern terminal, met by streetcars of the #24 line which changed ends in the middle of Roland Avenue.
