In 1887, the Silver City Waterworks provided the first municipal water supply for Silver City under franchise by the Silver City Water Company. When it was sold to Silver City in 1925, it included a 30-acre parcel. In the 1920s, the waterworks property was used as a training ground for the 111th cavalry unit. In 1949, a metal shop was added, and the building was used as a residence for city employees until 1967.
