Pratt, Kansas also has a pair of Hot and Cold water towers. I drove past them on Hwy. 281 for many years and lived a few blocks from them until we moved to Oregon in 1970. They were first painted as a prank in the 50s and the city has chosen to keep them that way ever since. They bring back many memories because as a grade-schooler we shopped at a market right under the towers and we rented locker (freezer) space from the store. It was always an adventure going into the freezer room — especially when it was 100+ degrees outside.

If I remember right, they were pictured in Truman Capote's film In Cold Blood. It's the story of two killers who traveled from Topeka to Dodge City where they ended up killing an entire family because they had erroneous information that there was money kept at the farm home. Pratt is on Hwy. 54, one of the highways they followed on their trip and the water towers are visible to the north as you cross Hwy. 281.
