The Ben Laughlin Water Tank House-Garage, near Jerome, Idaho, was built in 1927. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[2][3]

It is located seven miles east and one and one-half miles south of Jerome. It is an approximately 26 feet (7.9 m) wide structure, with a garage portion about 18 feet (5.5 m) long and a water tank which is about 16 feet (4.9 m) tall.[4]

It is the only water tank positively known to have been built by stonemason Ed Bennett which survives and is included in the 1983 survey of lava rock structures in the county.[4]
