The Fairmount Water Works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was the city’s second municipal waterworks. Designed by Frederick Graff in 1812 and completed by 1872, it operated until 1909. The waterworks garnered praise for its innovative design and became a popular tourist attraction. Today, it houses a restaurant and an interpretive center that explains its purpose and local watershed history. Notably, it was the nation’s first water supply to use paddle wheels for water movement. The Fairmount Water Works was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976 for its architectural significance and engineering innovations. This description was generated by Bing AI, which interpreted the title on the card.
