    A small brick pumphouse is built for the island's reservoir

    Building 106 was put up in 1941 as a reservoir pumphouse, east of Andes Road next to Building 107 and just west of the old arsenal armory. It is a one-story brick building under a flat concrete roof slab, with metal hopper windows, louvered vents and metal doors. It has never changed its job and is still a pumphouse.
