Description

The architecture of the Pump House is unique with its exaggerated roofline and solitary chimney. Water was first pumped from local “artesian wells” or natural springs. In 1908 the pump was converted from steam to hydro-electric power. The wells were capped in 1920 and the building was left vacant. In 1967 Warner Vineyards purchased and restored the building. It is now used as a “Wine Haus” for visitors. 706 South Kalamazoo Street.
