Built in the early 1800s as the Fairmount Water Works, this site was one of Philadelphia’s - and America’s - first municipal water delivery systems. Designed with innovative engineering and architectural beauty, Water Works was truly an architectural, engineering and aesthetic marvel. By the early 1900s, Philadelphia’s demand for fresh water outgrew the Fairmount Water Works’ ability to provide it, and in 1909 the Fairmount Water Works quietly closed its doors. Over the years the facility was adapted to house an aquarium and a public swimming pool.


During The Bicentennial in 1976, the Fairmount Water Works was honored as a National Historic Landmark. Today, this exciting venue provides a landmark din- ing experience, as the Water Works Restaurant and Lounge features world- class cuisine, first-class service, and out- standing views of the city.
