[lat N42 11.965 lon W083 44.435]. The Pump House is the small, square, one-story structure. The two-story garage and apartment was attached to the Pump House when the garage and apartment were constructed in the 1950s. The well under the Pump House undoubtedly was hand-dug, and would have been one of the first improvements mad to the farm. Until the 1950s, when electricity finally was brought to this structure, all water that was used on the farm was hand pumped and carried — including water for the farm animals.
