Keeper's House at Williamsbridge Reservoir
Keeper's House at Williamsbridge Reservoir, Historic stone house from 1890 at Williamsbridge Reservoir, The Bronx, US.
The granite residence features a slate gable roof, copper gutters, and rock-faced ashlar exterior walls measuring 5,000 square feet in total area.
George W. Birdsall designed this structure as part of the Williamsbridge Reservoir complex, which supplied fresh water to west Bronx residents until 1919.
The building exemplifies late 19th-century architectural methods, incorporating materials directly sourced from the reservoir's excavation into its construction.
Located at 3400 Reservoir Oval East, the structure now functions as headquarters for the Mosholu Preservation Corporation and Norwood News.
The L-shaped stone structure contains granite pieces extracted during the reservoir's construction, connecting it physically to its original purpose.
