Coldbrook Pumping Station
1927
The imprint of the generator manufacturer, Allis-Chalmers, is visible at the lower left of the first generator and partially on the second. Auxiliary equipment is located on the left under three large windows and on the right against the wall. The open door in the upper center of the picture gives scale to the size of the machinery. Two street lights are placed in the middle of the generators.
