EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing in 1912, showcases the Tondo Pumping Station in Manila, Philippines. The image offers a glimpse into the past, highlighting the engineering marvels of the early 20th century. The Manila Sewer System, constructed between 1906 and 1909, is depicted in this photograph, with the pumping station serving as a crucial component of the city's sanitation infrastructure. The Municipal Board oversaw the project, with James Francis Case acting as the Chief Engineer and W.E. Parsons serving as the architect. The Atlantic Gulf & Pacific Company was responsible for the execution of the project. The Tondo Pumping Station, an impressive industrial structure, stands tall against the backdrop of Manila's bustling cityscape. Its glass windows and brick exterior reflect the architectural trends of the time. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the American engineers and architects who built the Manila Sewer System during the early 1900s. The system was a significant improvement in public health and hygiene, providing the residents of Manila with a more sanitary living environment. Today, this image serves as a reminder of the rich history of engineering and architectural achievements in the Philippines and the United States during the 1910s.
