Scanning and documenting some more photos from the DPW Museum collection. A while back I had posted some photos taken from the smoke stack of the Eastern Avenue Pumping Station – they were in bad shape and a lot of smog in the pics. These look more like originals. Found in an unmarked folder. Some writing on reverse of photos.
On reverse of this photo is stated: Property of C.C. Wisner showing side wheeler Louise. 1910
Also marked as Wisner and being taken by A. Waldek (His name is spelled two different ways on 2 photos). Undated. Looking north. Shot Tower in upper left.
Another undated one. Assuming between 1910 and 1934 . Marked with Wisner and Waldeck. View of Pratt Street up Jones Falls.
Notation on back: Baltimore City, Old Light Street waterfront piers and docks since removed. 1949.
And after the removal. About 1954.
1965 improvements prior to the Inner Harbor becoming Harbor Place.

Very interesting pictures taken from the stack of the Eastern Avenue Pumping Station! It is hard to tell, but it appears that there is still a bridge carrying Baltimore Street over the Jones Falls. This would date the photos – prior to the completion of the Fallsway project – which enclosed the Jones falls in a three cell conduit down to a point about 75′ or so south of Baltimore Street. That project was completed around 1911 – 1913 (I think). So – I would say these were taken during the construction of the pumping station, or just after its completion.

I believe you are correct. The PS was completed about 1911 and from records I could find, the Jones Falls work was completed in 1916. I am unfortunately missing the Mayor’s Messages and Annual Reports of the Sewerage Dept. for 1915, 1916 and 1917.
