The White Tower (Russian: Белая башня romanized: Belaya bashnya) is a constructivist monument and a former water tower of the Uralmash plant in Yekaterinburg, Russia. The tower was built in 1929-1931 by the architect Moisei Reisher and became one of the first reinforced concrete structures in the city.[1]
With the development of the city's water supply network in the 1960s, the tower was taken out of service, was not used for many years and fell into disrepair. In September 2012, the Federal State Property Management Agency transferred the building for free use to the Podelniki architectural group, which organized the conservation and gradual restoration of the building.[2] The building is currently used as a cultural venue and is considered to be the unofficial symbol of Uralmash neighborhood.[3][4][5]
In 1974, the White Tower was recognized as an architectural monument of national significance.[6]
