The 170-foot-tall structure is actually a water tower, built in 1949 to serve the Brooks Catsup factory.
The bottle is designed in the Streamline Moderne style, popular in the 1930s and 1940s for its sleek, aerodynamic appearance.
In the 1990s, local preservationists rallied to save the structure, leading to its restoration and listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
The bottle has become a symbol of local pride and hosts an annual Catsup Bottle Festival, celebrating its quirky charm and historical significance.
