Located on the then-undeveloped shore of Lake Washington, the Spring Hill Water Company operated this steam-powered waterworks, pumping water through a long pipeline west to serve the City of Seattle. By 1907, the plant and part of its pipeline right-of-way were obtained by the city and transformed by the landscape architect John C. Olmsted into Colman Park (1909).
