Lincoln Reservoir Construction
June 10, 2003
Photos of the original construction of the Lincoln Reservoir and the current project to cap the reservoir. The park that holds the reservoir had it’s name taken away more than 80 years ago. No one ever bothered to look for a new one until recently.
The Volunteer Park reservoir has also been drained. I’ll be bummed if it is demolished, as that body of water offered a perfect companion to Noguchi’s sculpture, the Space Needle and the mountains in the distance.
