The city builds a granite gatehouse for the Croton Aqueduct
Contractor Peter J. Moran built this one-story, rock-faced granite gatehouse in 1894–95 for about $40,000, under Croton Aqueduct chief engineer George W. Birdsall. It joined the iron siphon pipes laid beneath the nearly mile-wide Manhattan Valley to the masonry aqueduct running south, replacing an older gatehouse that stood in the middle of Tenth (Amsterdam) Avenue. It stayed in service until 1990.
