Time Machine: The huge gas storage tower in C.R.

I don’t remember what I was researching when I came across a Gazette photo of a “gas storage holder.” It was huge, and had been located at First Street and Ninth Avenue SE. I thought it seemed a little dangerous to have a structure holding that much natural gas so close to downtown Cedar Rapids. The exceptionally large structure was “dodecagonal,” meaning it was 12-sided. The grainy photo was intriguing, so I clipped it and stored it for future research. The tower is today’s Time Machine column. I called The History Center, looking for a clearer photo of the tower and maybe a little more information and came up empty. Of course, The Gazette, repository of Eastern Iowa history, rarely fails me. The back story In May 1925, the Cedar Rapids Gas Co., a subsidiary of the United Light and Power Co., took out a quarter-page ad in The Gazette congratulating the newspaper on its “splendid new building” on Third Avenue and Fifth Street SE. The ad also announced the gas company’s construction plans. “We find it necessary to expand our facilities from year to year. More mains, services, meters and works equipment are required each year,” the ad read.
