As I continue to scan older images, I ran across this photo from around 25 years ago. The Louisville Water Company has been in business for well over 160 years. In 1860, they built Pumping Station #1 near the intersection of River Road and Zorn Avenue. The pumping station and tower were built in the Roman architecture style. In 1890 the original tower toppled during a violent windstorm, and was replaced with the current tower. It's a Doric design, rising to 183 feet. During the floods of 1937, the station stayed in operations by reverting back to steam power, and kept a lot of the city with fresh water. It's now undergoing a restoration. Image was done on Fujichrome ISO 64, Mamiya 645 Super, unknown lens.

Hasselblad 500c, 250mm Sonnar, Ilford Pan F Plus 50. On a happy side note, after a not insignificant span of time I got my 500cm body and 80mm lens back from repair and CLA!
