[MassHistPres] This Sunday -- Grand Opening -- Waterworks Museum

[Dennis De Witt]

Hello all.

If you can't come Sunday for the opening of the new Metropolitan Waterworks Museum, then come when you can!  

It is housed in a Boston Landmark, Richardsonian building of extraordinary high quality, designed by Arthur Vinal, in 1888, and added to by Edmund M. Wheelwright, in 1898,  it contains two huge triple-expansion steam engines.

See Randolph Langenbach's dramatic interior view of the space at:

The museum will be open Wednesday-Sunday.  Accessible by trolley from downtown Boston.

Please feel free to pass along this announcement!

Best regards,

Dennis J De Witt
