The Waterworks Museum is a museum in the Chestnut Hill Waterworks building, originally a high-service pumping station of the Boston Metropolitan Waterworks.[1] It contains well-preserved mechanical engineering devices in a Richardsonian Romanesque building.[2]
During its busiest years, the waterworks pumped as much as a hundred million gallons of water each day.[3]: 125 The station was decommissioned in the 1970s, and later some of its buildings were turned into condominiums.[4] After a period of disuse, the pumping station was restored, and in 2007 the Waterworks Preservation Trust was set up to oversee its conversion into a museum.[5] In March 2011, the building reopened to the public as the Waterworks Museum.[6]

The former Metropolitan Waterworks' high-service pumping station in Boston (originated by Arthur Vinal, 1885–1887 and expanded by Edmund Wheelwright, 1897–98) was recently opened as the Waterworks Museum.
