An Abundance of Water Under Pressure 
IS ASSURED BY THE 
CORCORAN DOUBLE TANK TOWER 
which provides the most certain of all systems of water supply. The capacity is 
sufficient to deliver water under pressure for the entire estate. 
Corcoran Tanks are built on trussed steel and wooden towers, which can be housed 
in by sheathing or shingling to harmonize with any architectural scheme. The 
housed-in frame may be built as an annex to the house to contain servants’ quarters, 
bachelors’ rooms, biliard room or garage. 
Corcoran Tanks are built to withstand the elements and are guaranteed water¬ 
tight and frost-proof. 
THE DOUBLE TANK FEATURE 
is shown in the illustration. The lower tank catches any overflow and a reserve 
supply is always on hand in case of fire or for the garden and grounds when the dry 
season is on.
