Located at the Three-Mile Locks of the James River and Kanawha Canal in Richmond, Virginia, the historic New Pump House was constructed between 1881-1883. The downstairs contained a water-powered pumping station, while the upstairs featured a large open-air pavilion that hosted lavish events and dances until the mid-1920’s. The Friends of Pump House are dedicated to protecting and revitalizing this historic architectural treasure, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Our Vision
A revitalized Pump House would be the crown jewel of the City of Richmond’s already stellar park system. However, the building needs water and sewer hookups, roof repairs, and a handicapped-accessible 2nd floor entrance to comply with ADA requirements before a certificate of occupancy can be granted.

Through your donations and volunteer efforts, we as a community can revitalize the Pump House and surrounding park to its former glory.
