A historic structure in Brackenridge Park that was once critical to San Antonio’s early growth recently suffered from a leaky roof while awaiting a long-delayed multi-million dollar restoration.
Working with the city in April, the nonprofit Brackenridge Park Conservancy placed a durable lightway rubberized membrane over the Water Works Pumphouse, one of San Antonio’s oldest intact industrial structures. The building is slated for restoration under a 2017 bond project augmented by $4.6 million from the conservancy, Bexar County, and the Conversation Society of San Antonio.
