West Washington Street Pumping Station
West Washington Street Pumping Station, Historic pumping station in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The rectangular brick building features a slate hipped roof, central tower, and decorative arched openings along its exterior walls.
The Water Works Company of Indianapolis constructed this station in 1870 as the city's first water pumping facility, operating continuously until 1969.
The structure represents the evolution of municipal water systems and early engineering solutions for providing clean water to urban populations.
The building now serves as offices and visitor center for White River State Park, offering information about local attractions and park activities.
Three centrifugal pumps installed in 1908 processed 4.5 million gallons of water daily through hydraulic turbines powered by the Indiana Central Canal.
