National Register Evaluation of Sewerage Pumping Station B New Orleans, Louisiana

Abstract

Sewerage Pumping Station B was constructed in the first decade of the twentieth century in New Orleans. It was built in an architectural style that is best described as Mediterranean . It represents an early example of this style in New Orleans, and it is one of the original structural components of the New Orleans sewerage system. The four pumps it houses at present are all historic. Two of these are 'non-clog' Wood Trash Pumps which were installed in ca. 1930. Pumping Station B exhibits integrity, and it is a significant example of architecture and of engineering. Also, the pumps it houses are significant because of their age and function. Therefore, Station B is recommended eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. It is recommended that adverse effect be avoided. if this is not possible, it is recommended that the structure be relocated or that HABS and HAER documentation be prepared.
