Aug 21/10: Giant Milk Bottle

Giant Milk Bottle, originally uploaded by susanvg.

This giant milk bottle, once a water tower for Guaranteed Pure Milk Co, has been a landmark in Montreal since it was erected in 1930. When the company moved from the site, the bottle deteriorated. Until recently it was badly rusted and covered in graffiti. Heritage Montreal started a campaign to save it and money was raised to restore it to its former glory. Nice to see that public pressure can save part of our city's heritage.
