Description
The Pump House to Bracebridge Heath Service Reservoir is a building from 1912, designed by Niel McKechnie Barron in the Baroque Revival style. It is constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings, and the roofs are concealed behind a high coped parapet. The building features a moulded eaves band, a plinth, and flush ashlar quoins.
At the south, there is a square tower with an extended octagonal plan pump house behind it, which includes a smaller octagonal upper floor. The tower has a doorway with flush ashlar surrounds and a hood, above which is a circular window framed in ashlar with a large double keystone under a segmental hood, and above that, a tiny lancet window. The tower is topped with an octagonal leaded dome featuring a finial. On either side of the tower, there are single circular openings with commemorative inscriptions. The side walls each have two glazing bar windows with ashlar surrounds and hoods.
