The Pumping Station

Stone Harbor's oldest municipal building still in use was authorized by Borough Council in 1923 and erected in 1924. The Water Works is a good example of Spanish Revival architecture, popular in the 1920's. It was erected and equipped as part of a reconstruction of the original borough water system, installed in 1909. Original standpipes were replaced over the years with more modern water towers. Today's tower is 132 feet high, holds 500,000 gallons, is supplied by four wells, and continues to deliver water to town buildings by gravity flow.
