Sewage Pumping Station 38, Sewerage pumping station in Mascot, Australia

The station features a circular concrete substructure within a single-story building, topped with a slate gambrel roof and terracotta ridge cappings.

Built in 1919 by the Metropolitan Water Sewerage and Drainage Board, the station served the low-lying areas of Cooks River Estuary and Ascot Racecourse.

The brown brick structure with timber-framed windows represents early 20th-century Australian industrial engineering and urban development practices.

Located on General Holmes Drive, the functioning station continues its original purpose while maintaining its heritage status under Sydney Water management.

The ceiling contains a centered ventilation grille and V-jointed tongue and groove boarding, reflecting specific construction methods of the Federation period.
