CHESTNUT HILL PUMPING STATION
Brookline, Massachusetts
Photographed, February, 2008
The High Service Pumping Station, constructed
in 1887, was designed in the Richardsonian Romanesque style by
Arthur Vinal, City Architect. An 1897-1898 addition was by
Wheelwright & Haven, Architects. Massive pumps inside the
building provided water to newly annexed parts of Boston,
located at higher elevations, and sent water to the Fisher Hill
Reservoir in Brookline. Source:
