At the Byrd Park Pump House this month, you can join a themed bicycle ride, tour the building and grounds, and commune with Edgar Allan Poe. The events are sponsored by the stewards of the city-owned property, the nonprofit Friends of Pump House. Since 2017 they’ve voluntarily devoted themselves to keeping the place intact and regularly hosting events to keep the Pump House in the public mind. Their Centennial Celebration this fall marks not the building’s 1883 completion, but the 1924 cessation of its use as the city’s waterworks.
