The pump house was constructed by the Endicott-Johnson Corporation workers in the 1920s with the scraps from the factories. In its facade are broken gears, a fire extinguisher, a bowling pin and at one time a revolver. It was built around a water well and used to pump water to the steam plant for the factories. It was built in to look like a pagoda because is is said that C.Fred Johnson, who was in charge of the facilities, just happened to like the style.
