Description

Appraisal
Typical example of a cast-iron water pump. This water pump is of the same style as the mass-produced public water pumps but is (oddly) located in the rear yard of a private house. It has been at this site since 1914 according to cartographic evidence and is a particularly well-preserved example of its type.
