I was fortunate enough today to be allowed to visit the Clarendon Coal Tower
Here are a few shots of it
The tower is in fairly good shape, the cement is holding up well. Approaching it from the west there is a bridge over the St Joe river then a cistern then a pump house then cement footings for what looks could have been for a water tower. then the coal tower all on the south side of the right of way
First shot is looking east (the truck is a Ford Ranger). 
View looking west The property owner uses part of it for storage. 
Pump House (the roof looks like it is cement)
Cement footings for a water tower (I think) 
This is a somewhat closer view 
This was my first visit to this location in 31 years and well worth it on a beautiful day
I can draw a diagram of the layout if anyone wants to see it and I have more pictures, If anyone wants to see them let me know.
