Clifton Park Valve House
Clifton Park Valve House, Gothic revival structure in Baltimore, United States
The octagonal stone building features Romanesque archways, Gothic windows, and an elaborate tile roof supported by iron trusses at Saint Lo Drive.
The Baltimore City Water Department constructed this valve house in 1887 to regulate water flow between Lake Montebello and Lake Clifton.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized this engineering achievement in 1971 for its representation of 19th-century municipal water systems.
The Department of Recreation and Parks maintains ownership of the building, which requires substantial restoration to prevent structural deterioration.
The building combines a pioneering steel roof truss system with medieval cathedral design elements, marking an intersection of engineering and architecture.
