Notes
  • Significance: The Woodward Pumping Station is one of nine similar flood control structures designed and built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, as part of the Wyoming Valley Flood Control System, which was constructed during the 1930s and 1940s. The Woodward Pumping Station was designed as a reinforced concrete structure with Art Deco detailing, and is significant for its association with engineering history and for its architectural design. The pumping station also is representative of the Depression era projects in the Wyoming Valley.
