Calf Pasture Pumping Station Complex
Calf Pasture Pumping Station Complex, Sewerage pumping station in Dorchester, Boston, United States
The Calf Pasture Pumping Station Complex stands at 435 Mount Vernon Street, featuring architectural elements from the Richardsonian Romanesque style designed by George Clough.
Built in 1883, this facility marked the first sewage treatment station in Boston, operating until 1968 when operations moved to the Deer Island treatment facility.
The site transformed from a 17th-century grazing area for calves into a fundamental component of Boston's early municipal infrastructure development.
The University of Massachusetts Building Authority manages development proposals for the 9.5-acre complex, seeking to integrate modern uses while preserving historical elements.
The pumping station remains the only standing 19th-century structure on Columbia Point and directed waste to a treatment facility on Moon Island in Boston Harbor.
