It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society.

This week we have an image from 1889 of the first waterworks building and water reservoir. Both are still extant at the corner of Fremont Street and Starin Road, although the keeper’s house shown in the photo is not extant. The Starin Park Water Tower, also from 1889, gets the most attention in the history of Whitewater’s water system, but these resources were also important components of the system, one of the earliest in the area.

Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
