The Fisher Hill Reservoir and Gatehouse are a historic element of the public water supply for the Greater Boston area. The reservoir is located on Fisher Road between Hyslop and Channing Roads in Brookline, Massachusetts, and now forms part of Brookline's public water supply. The reservoir was built in 1886-87 as an early component of the Boston Water Board's expansion of its high service system. The gatehouse may have been designed by Arthur Vinal, who also designed the high pumping station at Chestnut Hill Reservoir. It is a two-story Richardsonian Romanesque structure, with its first floor finished in stone and its second in brick. Brownstone trim is used on the windows and corner quoins, and the voussoirs which form the arches on the first floor. There are pipes to the reservoir and down to Chestnut Hill, and gates for controlling access to local the distribution network. The building was taken out of service in the 1950s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Fish Hill Reservoir and Gatehouse )〕 The reservoir and gatehouse were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.〔 ==See also==
