From the The Fire Museum of Greater Chicago Facebook page:

The last few months we have been in contact with FWD/Seagrave in Clintonville, WI. They have been interested in displaying one of our three Water Towers in their museum temporarily. With all the logistics taken care of Water Tower 3, a 1923 Seagrave, was taken to the FWD/Seagrave Museum in Wisconsin. Here are a few of the pictures and the gentlemen that made it happen.
