Arlington Reservoir (Arlington, Massachusetts)
The Arlington Reservoir is a large water storage tank located on Park Circle in Arlington, Massachusetts. It was constructed by the Metropolitan Water Works (now MWRA) between 1921 and 1924 in the Classical Revival style, to provide water storage for Northern Extra-High Service area, consisting of Lexington and the higher elevations of Belmont and Arlington.〔Information on plaque at site.〕 The design is said to have been inspired by the rotunda from the Samothrace temple complex in Greece.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
==History==
In 1895, the Town of Arlington constructed a 550,000 gallon standpipe at this location.〔(Annual report of the Metropolitan water board 1895-1900 )〕 However, after Arlington joined the Metropolitan Water District in 1899, the tank soon proved to be inadequate to supply other nearby towns, and was only used to regulate water pressure in the area.〔(Annual Report, Volume 19, Massachusetts Metropolitan Water and Sewerage Board )〕 The current 2,000,000 gallon tank,〔(The History of the Arlington Reservoir )〕 contained within a stone rotunda, was built between 1921 and 1924 by Crane Construction Company, with William E. Foss as chief engineer.
