The James Bothwell Water Tank House is a water tank house located on a farm 3.25 miles (5.23 km) north of Jerome, Idaho. The building was constructed circa 1926 for James Bothwell, a local lawyer and farmland investor. Bothwell built the tank house and a well on the property to help provide water for the farm. The building was constructed with lava rock by stonemason John Gott, who was trained in Germany. It is one of two original rock water tank houses remaining in Jerome and Lincoln Counties.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 8, 1983.
