I think this is OK -- the photograph is licensed properly and although the tower itself is copyrighted, the use here of the image is certainly fair use.
Marchjuly, FYI, as I think you know, in order for FOP to apply in the USA, the created work must be architecture. The Copyright Act (17 USC 101) says,
The key word is "building" -- a man-made structure intended for human use or occupation. Thus monuments are not buildings and neither are water towers. Both, if above the threshold of originality, have copyrights as sculpture. . . Jim - Jameslwoodward ( talk to me • contribs) 23:00, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
