Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The MWM owns and operates the Waterworks Museum (the "Museum"), including a community meeting room. The Museum is a single condominium unit of the Museum Building Condominium, one of four separate condominium building regimes on the site. The four buildings share certain operating responsibilities through an administrative trust (the Waterworks at Chestnut Hill Trust), and the complex is commonly known as The Waterworks at Chestnut Hill. The site was previously the Chestnut Hill Waterworks, owned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and disposed of in accordance with the LDA. Three of the four buildings and the adjacent Chestnut Hill Reservoir are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the entire site is a designated City of Boston Landmark. The Museum houses three historic steam pumping engines installed between 1894 and 1921: the Allis, the Worthington, and the Leavitt. As required under the LDA, MWM provides public access to the Museum at no fee, and to the Communit

IRS990/MissionDesc0The MWM owns and operates the Waterworks Museum (the "Museum"), including a community meeting room. The Museum is a single condominium unit of the Museum Building Condominium, one of four separate condominium building regimes on the site.
