The Leaning Tower of Britten is a water tower that stands in an open field it serves as a roadside attraction and decorative item along historic US Route 66 in Groom, Texas. The tower was originally a functioning water tower slated for demolition until Ralph Britten purchased and moved it to serve as an advertisement for his truck stop and tourist information center. The Leaning Tower Truck Stop closed in the mid-1980s after an electrical fire damaged it; a small remaining portion operates as a local truck repair shop. The tower is pretty much out in the middle of a field.
