The Denton J. Paul Water Tank near Dietrich, Idaho, United States, was built in c.1918, perhaps by stonemason Ignacio Berriochoa and his helper Julian Pagoaga; Berriochoa lived about three miles away. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
It is located on the farm of Denton J. Paul who owned and occupied it during 1911 to 1928, receiving final patent on it in 1918. It is a round water tank approximately 12 feet (3.7 m) tall and 12 feet (3.7 m) in diameter, with a plank top covered with concrete. It has rubble walls with mortar that is nearly flush, but is pointed to one-inch wide indentations. There is a dark lava block or ball about 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter centered on top of the tank, on a concrete stand.[2]
