Summary edit

Description

Boston Water Works, Chestnut Hill High-Service Pumping Station, 2450 Beacon Street, Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, USA.

  • The station, in the Richardsonian Romanesque style of the period, was designed by City Architect Arthur H. Vinal (1854-1923) and completed in 1887. Oldest engine extant is the 1895 triple-expansion steam pumping engine designed by Erasmus D. Leavitt (1836-1916) of Cambridgeport, then one of the country's leading mechanical engineers. (The engine was designated a National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark in 1973).
