Chestnut Hill Reservoir Complex - View this location on map  The Chestnut Hill Reservoir, an original part of Boston's water system, reflected a trend of combining technology with high architecture. This 1888 building, styled in Richardsonian Romanesque by City Architect Arthur Vinal, and the adjacent Beaux-Arts structure by Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge, pumped water throughout the city. The curving roadway and pastoral setting created open space before the city's park system was established. 2400-2450 Beacon St., Boston, MA Historical |
