Reflections on the Columbia, Pateros Water Towers

Light up the old reservoirs with a handheld flashlight.Colorful mosaic tiles cover the towers that sit above the town of Pateros. Richard Elliot's "Reflections on the Columbia" were originally installed in 1992 and restored in 2016 after the Carlton Complex Fires. Fires scathed a large part of Pateros and burned the precious artwork. Now fully restored, the towers stand a symbol of recovory and strength for the town below. The original model of the installation is on display at the museum.
