Adding to the quaint hometown feel of  downtown Gilbert is the recent addition of Water Tower Plaza directly across from Hale Centre Theatre. The plaza is at the base of the Gilbert water tower that supplied water to the firetrucks from 1927 to 1985, and includes the town’s first jail, a tiny adobe building.
