World's Largest Catsup Bottle

Standing proudly at 170 feet tall, this iconic mid-century water tower was built in 1949 to advertise Brooks Rich & Tangy Catsup and was saved from demolition by passionate local preservationists.

The move: Snap a quirky couple's selfie directly beneath the massive red bottle, then head into downtown Collinsville to grab a bite to eat.
