Editorial Review for Williams Tower and Water Wall – by Annie Lin
The View
Architect Philip Johnson envisioned a structure that would cut through the ceiling of Houston smog. His creation, a striking, neo-deco tower of power, penetrates the urban sprawl with a soaring, 64-story upward thrust. It's one of the tallest suburban office buildings in the world. Capping the tower is a 7,000-watt revolving light that cuts through the humid night sky like a searchlight beam in Gotham City.
The Appeal
Equally impressive is the nearby Water Wall, a shimmering man-made feature that sends thousands of gallons of water hypnotically cascading down its slick rock surface into a pool below.

This worked out like a charm!! I parked in the adjacent parking lot, and my fiance and I walked towards the water tower since she said she's never been to it. We were supposed to meet some friends for dinner, and I said it would be an easy short cut to go through there. Anyway, we stopped in the middle, with the water falling all around us, and started with a kiss. I told her to look up at the water falling, and at that moment, I dropped to one knee. Once she looked down at me proposing, she abolutely flipped! Be prepared for waterworks, and not just from the water wall!!! Extrememly romantic setting! Best of luck to anyone else who proposes there!
Pros: great setting
Cons: you'll get some drizzle on you
