Opening March 27

The Waterworks Museum is located on the site of the original Chestnut Hill Reservoir and pumping station

The Waterworks Museum consists of the vast hall, housing three historic steam-powered pumping engines, and a two story glass-enclosed pavilion

Getting out to stretch and appreciate restoration of some quality masonry and copper craftsmanship.

Appreciating the restoration of adjacent building as well. From the residence web site- A late 19th century Beaux Arts landmark, this magnificent historic structure has been preserved and adapted for residential living by world famous local architect, Graham Gund. The Gund office should look at Suffolk Superior Court house next, I like their preservation efforts!
