Скачать или смотреть Market Street Pump Station

San Antonio Water System's Market Street Pump Station helped open the West to development and continues operations 125 years later.

When tourists stroll along San Antonio’s famous River Walk in Texas, lots of them will remember the Alamo, but few will recall the historical importance of the little pump station that sits among high-rise hotels in the hustle and bustle of America’s seventh largest city. Except for the Alamo itself, no other site in San Antonio approaches the importance of the Market Street Pump Station in shaping the development and history of South Texas. In the 19th century, artesian wells at the site were a catalyst that set the stage for modernization in the West – they contributed fresh, clear water that shaped a dusty little Texas town into the modern city it is today.
