View showing the engineering crew using a windlass to raise the standpipe in a large field at the corner of Tulpehocken Street and Wayne Avenue on August 13, 1851. Several men work large cranks, in the foreground and background, as others guide the lifting, including a man elevated on a section of the hoisting apparatus. In the right, the foreman talks to two men in white coats, probably the engineers, while another group of well-dressed men converse to the left near a small crowd of spectators. Two workers carry pulley ropes while they walk toward the lass. Another laborer grabs a bucket with one hand as he holds the unwinding rope of one of the cranks with the other. Pasture land is visible in the background. The Germantown Water Company delivered water from the location 1851-1872. The standpipe was sold in 1873 and demolished.
