This is the first time in several years that the public has been allowed to see inside..security issues since 9/11.
This spectacular public building was the brainchild of Rowland Caldwell Harris, Toronto's City Commissioner from 1912 to 1945.
They are doing a lot of construction work on the premises, between the gaggle of visitors and the mess of the workers, it was not easy to get good outside pictures.
Inside the Pumping Station, we were able to touch the black and gold marble walls and the intricate railings.
The pumps were running constantly, and signs advised people not to linger inside any longer than thirty minutes.
Everywhere you looked, there were examples of Art Deco.
Even down to the water fountain...mmm good.
Outside, overlooking the lake.
