The Williams Waterwall (Houston, Texas)

USA / Texas / West University Place / Houston, Texas

The Williams Waterwall is a gorgeous piece of architecture located right next to the Williams Tower in the Uptown District.

The structure is in the shape of a semi-circle, with water that cascades down over it and down a series of steps towards the bottom. When you stand in front of it, especially at night when it is illuminated by lights from beneath the water, it is really a spectacular sight. It is situated at the end of a lovely little park named after Gerald D. Hines. The Waterwall is surrounded by oak trees, and is a favorite photo opportunity for locals and visitors alike in Houston.

Designed by local architects in 1985, the wall of water drops thousands of gallons 64 feet every minute. Operating daily 7am-10pm. Viewing the waterwall is FREE
