The Fairmount Water Works, situated on the east bank of the Schuylkill River, was built between 1812 and 1815 to the design of Frederick Graff. It served as the sole water pumping station for the City of Philadelphia until it was decommissioned in 1909. It originally consisted of a 3 million gallon earthen reservoir atop Faire Mount, now the site of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and a pump house with two steam engines. Between 1819 and 1821, a 1,600-foot long dam was built across the Schuylkill to direct water to a Mill House and three water wheels that replaced the steam engines in 1822. In 2003, it was converted into a The Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center (FWWIC), a museum and environmental center. In the intervening years, it served as the Philadelphia aquarium, the John B. Kelly Pool, and a restaurant.
