Description
This photo, believed to have been taken about 1925, shows the Old Pumping Station on South Meadow Road, in Perry.
It was built for the Eastport Water Company in 1890-91, when water rights were purchased from James Leighton, who operated the station until 1906.
The reservoir was created by a dam as Boyden Stream passed under the bridge east of the intersection with Golding Road.
These buildings and the reservoir are long gone, replaced by a new pumping station further upstream in the mid 20th century.
