Architectural historic preservation is flowing at this circa 1930 pumping station originally designed by Frank O. Heyder. 💧 In its Spanish Revival/Neo-Georgian aesthetic, the 35,000-square-foot Vernon Pumping Station is a key component of the Baltimore Municipal Water Utility System, located at the foot of the Druid Hill Reservoir and separated by the Jones Falls Expressway. If you drive this route to and from Baltimore, you've surely done a double-take in awe of the attractive building. 😲 Murphy & Dittenhafer Architects is providing Architectural and Preservation expertise on a major infrastructure project, supporting and reviewing the work of Whiting-Turner Contracting Company. From rehabilitating the brick and terra-cotta masonry to refurbishing the verde-green Spanish tile roofing—from preserving the terrazzo flooring in the operations room to the stone tile flooring in the pump well—M&D is working hard to highlight the building's history while simultaneously supporting a safer structure for the modern era. 🧱
