The new Walter J. Sullivan Water Purification Facility in Cambridge, Mass., can easily be mistaken for a commercial or institutional building. Its brick-clad exterior incorporates such features as a clock tower, arched entrances, and windows that are reminiscent of Boston-area water facilities designed by classical architect H.H. Richardson. The 54,000-sf plant, which is also the headquarters for the water department, was built on the site of the city's former 78-year-old plant, which was razed to make way for the new facility. Some elements of the old structure were saved—Greek entrance columns and a pediment, and cast stone medallions of the city and state seals, which were incorporated into the two-story lobby.
