My good friend Ed, firing off some brackets on this week's Urbex excursion.
Kinda hard to see where the water ends and where the sky begins. I'd like to take credit for framing it that way but it a complete accident ;O

"The gate-house, where the water is taken from the lake, was built 225 feet from the shore, where the depth of water is yen feet; so that in years of extreme drought, when the lake is sometimes five feet below high-water mark, there is a depth of at least five feet of water at the gate-house and four feet in the pump-well."

"During the year 1872 the foundations of the engine-house, boiler-house, and coal-house were built, and the superstructure was completed the following year, being constructed of granite quarried in the immediate neighborhood, on the lot bought by the city for the pumping station and reservoir.
The engine-house was made large enough for four engines - two for the high-service and two for the low-service - which it was thought the increasing wants of the city would ultimately require."
