Saugatuck Pump House

The Saugatuck Pump House, now the Pump House Museum, is a historic building located at 735 Park Street in Saugatuck, Michigan. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
At the beginning of the 1900s, Saugatuck was becoming more popular as a resort town. The municipal water system at the time consisted of a series of cisterns coupled with private wells. Several fires destroyed wooden buildings in town, and the system was proving inadequate. After yet another fire in November 1903, a special election was called to approve the issuance of $8500 in bonds to pay for design and construction of a system of water works. The measure passed, and in early 1904, the village hired John W. Alvord to prepare plans for and superintend the construction of a 100,000-gallon reservoir located at a high point west of the Kalamazoo River, along with pumps to feed the reservoir and a main running back into the town. Work began in May, and what is now the south section of this pump house was completed by mid-August. The entire system was operational by October 1904.
