It was constructed to supply sufficient water pressure for the surrounding area of Walnut Hills, Cincinnati. Water was directed into the standpipe from the Ohio River by means of the neighboring Eden Park Station No. 7. It distributed water into one 36-inch and two 24-inch mains. However, The original standpipe became obsolete and eventually went out of operation in 1916 as the city developed further and modern water towers were established.
