The Boniface Water Tower is a 1.7 million gallon steel water tank. Designed by Sanborn & Bogert 1929, the tank was designated an American Water Landmark in 1989 by the American Water Works Association. It is designed to give the Village of Scarsdale water in reserve for emergency situations and for times of heavy demand. The steel structure is surrounded by a handsome masonry structure resembling the old Martello Towers of England.

The structure was originally known as the Grange Standpipe and later the Garden Road Standpipe. In 1943 the Village Board of Trustees renamed it the Arthur Boniface Water Tower in memory of the late Arthur Boniface, who served the Village from 1918 to 1943 - on the Board of Trustees and as both Village Engineer and Village Manager. The water tower has been used continuously since it was built.
