Museum Water Tower Lights up the Night

The farm was called Stucile Farm and was owned by the Ira Haupt Family, a Wall Street financier. Water was pumped from Poplar Brook to a steel tank at the Top of the Tower, and used to irrigate the farm and its livestock.

Paramount Realty, the developer on the corner of Deal Road and Route 35, said that they would like to see the Tower lit up and would finance the project. Last week MM Electric, of Neptune City, installed the lighting
