UNIPRO is Now Restoring the 1911 Maple Leaf Reservoir Pump House

This historical one-story brick building is located beyond the southern end of the Maple Leaf Reservoir in Seattle, WA . The construction of this Classical Revival design building was completed in the year 1911. (Photos at www.uniproseal.com)

Set on a high brick base over a concrete foundation, the rectangular plan structure features a hipped roof lined with an elaborate terra cotta cornice adorned with solid modillion blocks and corners embellished with fluted terra cotta pilasters. An intermediate cornice above the brick base appears to visually support the corner pilasters.

In addition to the overall restoration UNIPRO is removing several damaged pieces of the original terra cotta and replacing them with new casts. One corner piece alone is estimated to weight around 500 pounds.
