Warner Gymnasium - Yenching University - Peking Henry Killam Murphy Architect - New York City "Pagoda Water Tower." "Picture No. 14 is the Warner Memorial Gymnasium. Here the architect has very happily combined the beautiful architectural lines with the utility of a modern building. Not far away is the Porter Pagoda, which is a new way of treating a water tower (V). This idea makes it possible to have one of the most beautiful water towers in the world. Most water towers disfigure the landscape." Design drawing depicting the buildings.
