History

The Turtle Creek Pump Station in Dallas was built in 1909 as a municipal water pumping facility on a hill above the Trinity River, designed by architect Charles A. Gill in a Richardsonian Romanesque style with Italianate touches. It operated until about 1930 and was later restored in the 1980s as the Sammons Center for the Arts. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
