The Ypsilanti water tower in Michigan was named the world’s most phallic building by Cabinet Magazine.
In case you aren’t aware, I like dicks. I like dick-shaped cakes, dick flavored ice cream, and actual dicks, of all shapes and sizes. I pretty much see dicks everywhere I go, so if I ever find myself in Ypsilanti, you can bet your bottom dollar I will be standing in front of the water tower, instagramming until my fingers bleed.
Affectionately called the “brick dick” by locals, the Ypsilanti water tower was designed by architect William R. Coats in 1889. Apparently the tower is designed in the “Queen Anne” style, which I suppose means old Anne was a real size queen. Construction workers, superstitious about creating a huge penis-shaped building worked four crosses into the brickwork, which can only be seen if you look really hard (no pun intended).
There is a local legend that states the “brick dick” will fall down if a virgin should ever graduate from the local university. I personally believe this legend, because it’s a small town university in Michigan.
Is there anything else to do there besides have sex?
