It looks newer. Many of the old windmills went with water towers to pump the water up to

The 1912 Sanborn is the oldest I can find of the area. It shows a house at 1601 - 39th, but no water tower. There were a couple others in the area, though (W.M. & W.T. Elev'd. 24')

Not conclusive, and I haven't checked Aaron Goldstein's map yet
