Iron Turbine Windmill is an historic windmill at 415 W. Gurley Street in Prescott, Arizona. It is technically a windpump, but the American term is windmill.

The windmill was built in 1876 and added to the National Historic Register in 1981.

It is part of a museum area now. It is cloistered between some buildings, which it might rise above, but it is still hard to get a good picture due to trees that also surround it. Perhaps in winter pics would be better.
