How boring our history must seam to others when a pumping station is considered a structure of historical importance.

This building should incorporate a pump or two, but I don't think they need to stay in their original place in the building. If they need structural supports in their location. However the exterior should be maintained. Sometime you have to "think" and use some common sense when it comes to historical buildings. I have taken a course in "Architectural Heritage and Building Renovation" and feel this to be a disservice to a developer that is attempting to rejuvenate a building that on the exterior looks quite nice.
