West of Allenreed is Groom, TX...This eye catching water tower is located on the north side of I-40 and old U.S. Route 66. It seems as if it would topple over but it won't because it was deliberately placed there in a tilted position by the owner of a now long-gone truck stop, Ralph Britten (whose name figures on the tank that tops the tower).
