TEACHERS
The original Cincinnati River Pumping Station was built in 1820-21 by Samuel W. Davies. However, after the forming of the Cincinnati Water Co. in 1826, it was decided that the River Pumping Station should be relocated to 5800 Kellogg Ave. in the California District of Cincinnati. The total cost of the new construction was $15,000,000.
