Site Tour: REGULATOR HOUSES



A Marriage of
Technology and Architecture

There are four regulator houses, two on each of McMillan's courtyards.
These red brick buildings housed
the mechanics of our Capital city's water filtration technology.



Notice the lovely detail in
the brickwork
and the red clay tile rooftop.




Now let's take a look inside...









These are the wheels and guages that the technicians used to control the sand filttration machinery.
The tour pictured below is being led by Clint Jackson, at that time an employee of NCRC,
the development company previously considered for McMillan.
Mr. Jackson now works for the Mayor's office overseeing the McMillan project.
