A visit to the old reservoir

Last week I went to the old reservoir at Clay and 5th street to assess the Waterbearer's base that still sits there. Also cast from zinc, the base is still in good condition but will need to eventually be removed and stored or covered to preserve it. I took a few photos to share as I crawled around and investigated:

One of the bolts that once secured the statue.

A remaining piece of her base.

Front view. Very nice detailing.

Back view. Note the access door for maintenance. 




The cleaning process continues in the shop and I'll be back with more photos to share soon.
