Fleet Street Pumping Station

I took a series of pictures on the way to and from the 2014 Canadian Firefighters Memorial Ceremony. The central feature of these pictures is the Fleet Street Pumping Station in Ottawa. I don't think I can classify it as a memorial, even though it has a plaque. So I'm posting the pictures here.

fighting purposes, this pumping station

construction. Due to their innovative use of
water power to drive the pumping equipment
and superb engineering skils, the Fleet Stree
Pumping Station continues to be a key
component of the City of Ottawa's water
supply system.
