A landmark for Corning right next to the Corning Head Quarter. It was part of the old factory that occupied the area. Build in 1912 to draw long glass tube vertically part of reason why it's so tall and slim.. There is a status near the tower and a memorial plate on the base. The walkway around is part of the walkway around the whole head quarter grounds. If you have time to go on the other side of the river bank, you can see a different view with the white tower stand out from the hills on the background. By the way, the front gate structure leading to the Corning head quarter building has it unique Mosaic inside its under-Archie. Worth to walk over and take look. Picture yourself before it with the building at the back also worth a peek.
A nice little spot with a history of this tower. It’s too bad you can’t go up it. It has been that way since 1973 since they stopped blowing glass up there. But it is still cool to look up at and marvel about. There is also a statue of Little Joe himself which adds a nice touch to the park.
A nice little park describing the history of the vertical glass drawing tower.
A nice monument to Corning's history, it's past and present. I especially liked the statue of the glass blower at the base of the tower.
Too tall, made me feel self-conscious.Blue pairs well with white though.
Historic Landmark, visible from most of the city of Corning. Perfect for photos!
It's literally just a white tower looming over downtown Corning, but it has a great deal of local significance and ties into the region's history as a pioneer in quality glass manufacturing. If you get up close, you'll find some nice statues and info at the base. Note that you cannot actually enter the tower. Though it was never meant for that purpose anyway.
This was a cute park and the history of the tower was interesting. It was had to figure out where to park because there was a gate right near the entrance. I loved the glass blower statue
One of the major landmarks in Corning. If you work in Corning, Avis and National rent car would drop / pick their cars inside the parking area near Little joe
One of the few truly historic landmarks left. Like "little Joe" my grandfather and great grandfather we're gaffers so he symbolizes a part of our history in this country too.
