A milk-bottle-shaped steel water tower on the former Harbisons Dairies plant at 2041-55 Coral Street in Kensington, built in the mid-1910s to hold 30,000 gallons for the plant's sprinkler system. The Philadelphia Historical Commission designated the plant and tower in 2018; the bottle was repainted white with red lettering in 2020 when the plant became apartments and was lit at night from 2022.
