Going Underground to Explore a Huge, 1884 Brick Cistern

Join me as I descend a narrow ladder to go underground and explore the inside of a cavernous brick cistern. This man-made potable water catchment once held 4,000-5,000 gallons of water for a well to-do family that lived in a three-story 1884 home in Palatka, Florida.
As always, thank you for watching…Bob Lee.

Thanks! Hey, it’s something different.

Bob, I have missed seeing you and Chris. That cistern was amazing to see the size. It was interesting as to only one wall was red brick. The engineering to construct that was very interesting. I was hoping it would be full of old bottles. 👏👍😀

So were we. Thx! I’ll have a bottle vid up on UA-cam next week. Do more on Tik Tok now. Good to hear from you. In fact, you’ll will see my best bottle, appraised at $2,000 plus.

The arch in the roof is what made it stand up so long, don't need to worry about a roof collapse.

For sure, thx! Ever see one this large?

@@relicrescueusa3803 I've seen them much deeper, scary deep, over 20'. But those are cylindrical, maybe about 6-8 feet in diameter. I have never actually seen one built more like a tunnel as this one is.

Thx! I was curious.
