[edit]DescriptionHighland Park, Rochester, New York - 20220525 - 15 - Gate House No. 2, Highland Park Reservoir.jpg |
English: Gate House No. 2 of the Highland Park Reservoir in Rochester, New York, as seen on a gorgeous May 2022 afternoon. Housing the intake mechanism whereby water from the reservoir is diverted into mains and piped to homes throughout the city, plans for the facility's construction at the east end of what was then known as Mount Hope Reservoir began in 1902, with the assurance of financing from city coffers for the purpose. Contemporaneous coverage in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle reported that an early design for the facility that "provide[d] for a tower of considerable height" met with the opposition of Public Works commissioner J. Y. McClintock, who advocated instead for a structure that would be "as inconspicuous as possible", nothing of whose design would be "out of harmony" with the park's renowned Frederick Law Olmsted-designed landscaping. City Engineer Edwin C. Fisher expertly managed the balance of complying with McClintock's terms yet also designing a lovely structure, whose high Neoclassical design was partly inspired by the Erechtheion at Athens. Eyes naturally are drawn to the façade, where the front entrance is framed consecutively by transom and sidelights with Roman latticework, an architrave adorned with paterae on its sides and crowned with a dentillated, ancone-supported cornice and shell relief, and a distyle Ionic temple front. But the rich detail continues elsewhere: the same Roman lattice motif appears on the deeply recessed lateral windows too, and undergirding the eaves of the tile-clad hipped roof is a frieze with a repeated pattern of shell, scroll, and floral reliefs. The facility was completed in 1904. |
