The “other” Peoria Heights Water Tower, located at N 40° 44.573 W 089° 34.717, or more commonly, near the intersection of Toledo and Monroe Ave’s (thanks Katney.)
Burl says: everyone knows it says “Peoria Heights†in white on the blue section, but unless you’ve been back to the school you may not have known that the side that points towards the school has “Patriots†written in white.
Waymarking.com says: “Patriots” is the nickname used for both the boys and girls sports teams at Peoria Heights High School. Fittingly, the school colors are red, white and blue as are the colors painted on this water tower.

It’s definately the water tower. I would be interested in finding out where he got that shot from. Interesting bit though, everyone knows it says “Peoria Heights” in white on the blue section, but unless you’ve been back to the school you may not have known that the side that points towards the school has “Patriots” written in white.
