On This Date in Minnesota History: June 3

June 3, 2004 – One of the very few structures in Cloquet that survived the 1918 fire was torn down today. The water tower on the hill overlooking Pinehurst Park is no more.  City officials decided the water tower had to go because it was corroding and had become too expensive to maintain. Also, the tower was in a residential neighborhood where falling ice, dripping water and other problems plagued nearby homeowners.
