C'est...Old Water Works


In 1892 Savannah had the good fortune to open a modern pump house for the municipal water system. This was a forward thinking move that used the most current technology at that time. I have now begun a series of paintings of this complex, the Old Water Works Pump House in Savannah GA, which is located in the western part of the city of Savannah on West Gwinnett Street. Here you find my watercolor of the central tower. It is a beautiful Richardsonian Romanesque structure. More to follow.
