pumphouses
Fluid moving buildings
Pumphouses are buildings that contain pumps and related equipment for moving water or other fluids.
They're found at water treatment facilities, along pipelines, and near wells or reservoirs.
A pumphouse keeps the machinery protected from weather and vandalism: The old stone pumphouse by the river still functions.
