A Landmark

This is an older photograph of a building that was once part of the Sea Cliff Water Company, and it is located at the bottom of our street.  It was built as one of two pumping stations in 1940 and was designed to look like a residence to complement the elegant homes that surrounded it.  These pumping stations played a pivotal role in the village’s transition from a seasonal resort to a year-round residential community.  The water company was privately owned and during a recent sale, the company allowed the village to buy this building and property.  The village is studying what the building can be used for but the hope is that it will eventually be used for community events.  The building had deteriorated some while it was unused.  The good news is that restoration has begun!  It was given landmark status back in 2019 which is great news.  I will keep you up to date on the restoration work as it progresses!
