I know a female architect who designed a free standing bell tower ( on the sidewalk ) for an urban church occupying a standard office type structure.

She was accused of designing masonic and phallic symbols too.

Some folks got peckers on the brain and every pointy thing they see reminds them of one.

You are correct. This is just a historic Ypsilanti Water Tower. Simple enough.
