Pump Stations
Various Locations in Kalamazoo County
Several tiny pump stations sprung up all around Kalamazoo between 1930 and
1950. Many of them reflect common elements of Art Deco design: concrete
exteriors and decoration, horizontal and vertical details, bits of
metalwork and even a hint of color. None of them compare to the splendor
of City Hall or the American National Bank, but the Art Deco influence is
certainly present.
