The Milwaukee Skyline
Since it was lifted into the Walker’s Point sky in the fall of 2017, The Coakley Brothers Water Tower has become an iconic symbol in the Milwaukee skyline and throughout the community.
A Local Inspiration
With its prominent place in the city skyline, the Coakley Brothers Water Tower captures the imagination of visitors that may only see it once. Local community members also take the sculpture in regularly.

Milwaukee’s population is made up of around 560,000 people. While we may not be the biggest city around, ours is big at heart. We’re proud to live in a community as lively, diverse, and passionate as Milwaukee.
Whether they’re neighbors, strangers, family, or friends, those living within our city support one another. They strive to create a community that is as friendly as it is beautiful. Since we came forward with the idea for the Water Tower, the city, its leadership, and its residents have embraced the icon every step of the way.
Visiting Stars
The strength of Milwaukee’s people inspires those within our city and even those just visiting. The iconic Water Tower sculpture has been an ongoing beacon of positivity in the community, even drawing the attention of visiting stars like musician Steve Aoki.
A Beacon of Hope
When adversity struck and the COVID-19 pandemic gripped the world, our brave healthcare professionals united to show the community that they were dedicated to our safety. We were proud to offer our sculpture as a symbolic backdrop for their photo shoot.
