Just a short walk south of the pump house along Avenue B, you’ll find a small, square stone building that looks a bit mysterious. This little structure is believed to have housed an electrically powered pump, much like Electric Pump Station #3, which sits just north of the upper pump house. The building has metal casement windows on two sides and a flat roof, giving it a simple but solid look.
If you look closely, there’s a plaque on the building that reads: “City Water Board, Brackenridge Park Electric Station #2, January 1939,” and lists the names of some key figures like Conrad A. Goeth (Chair), Lamar G. Seeligson, and James A. Gallagher, as well as the Mayor, C.K. Quin. It’s a quiet reminder of the park’s history and the people who helped shape it!
