Business First posted a blurb this week about the impending renovation at the Zorn Avenue Pumping Station. You may remember back in 2008 when the Water Tower underwent a $1.7 million refurbishment, but now the adjacent pumping station building will get its own $1.7 million upgrade.
The structure is currently home to the Louisville Visual Arts Association and planned work includes a new slate roof, masonry repairs, and a fresh coat of white paint.
Wikipedia has some history on the facility.
