Chicago Avenue Pumping Station

The Chicago Avenue Pumping Station is overshadowed by the Chicago Water Tower, which is across the street as a Chicago Landmark. However, they both are historic district contributing properties to the Old Chicago Water Tower District.

Reason

This beautiful architectural vision is deserves recognition in its own right as a Chicago Landmark. It is overshadowed by the water tower, but makes its own contribution to the historic district. This picture clearly represents its splendor. Although numerous pictures are available of the water tower, no good images of the pumping station across the street are readily available. This contribution is a good one.
