Pump House South
Item
Description
In the 1940s, Michael Curtin, the father of Broter Herman Edwin, visited the pumphouse daily. Michael and his wife lived in the gatehouse.
In the early 1960s a severe winter froze the water to the depth of the intake pipe. The pipe was extended further into the river, but eventually artesian wells were utilized for regular water. The river pump house still supplies the icehouse lake and swimming pool.
