Description
Two pumps, dating from the late 19th century and early 20th century, are located in a 20th-century wooden shelter. Both pumps are made of cast iron and mounted on a shared wooden backplate. The pump on the north side is from the late 19th century and features a fluted cap with a spike finial, fluting at the base of the spout, and a handle that ends in a knop. The pump on the south side is smaller and from the early 20th century, with fluting on the upper barrel and the base of the spout. It also has a raised emblem of a flag, although its handle is broken.
