description View showing the new mill house on the mound dam at the Fairmount Water Works on the Schuylkill River. Also shows a partial view of the old mill house and a visitor at the top of the stairs leading to the interior of the new building. The new mill house, built between 1859 and 1862 after the designs of Philadelphia engineer Henry P.M. Birkinbine, housed the engines that replaced the water wheels that previously powered the waterworks. The waterworks, originally built between 1812 and 1822 after the designs of Frederick Graff, were altered and expanded after the designs of Henry P.M. Birkinbine and Frederick Graff, Jr.
