QWP Water Valve I must admit, I cannot tell you what Q and the P stand for, but I can assure you that the W must stand for water. Possibly Quincy Water Pipe, since Quincy was a well-known name in the Boston area.
|
|
|
Harvard Water Valve As you can see, this valve is one of many in and about Harvard Yard. |
|
|
Caldwell of Cambridge This water valve is in Harvard Yard. The Brahmin Caldwell name makes you almost think that they invented water itself ! |
|
|
Speckled Water Valve Another valve cover that they used the blue paint on, his time it surrounded by the white paint of a red traffic light stop line. |
|
|
Blue Water Valve This water valve is in behind MIT somewhere near the new Gheary building construction site. |
|
|
Red Water Valve This series of Cambridge water valves will probably be printed out as a tryptic, quadryptic, quintyptic or sextyptic etc... |
|
|
Chiaroscuro Water Valve This photo shows the exciting time enduring interplay of asphalt, bronze and rock salt, and the careful attention to detail application of the men paving the street. |
|
|
Yellow Gas Valve I know, I know, I know. It's not a water valve, but it is around the same size. |
|
|
Harvard Met WW Gate Metropolitan Water Works Gate. Judging by the size of the cover, this must be a doozy underneath. |
|
|
Harvard MET WW B-O No, it didn't smell too badly. I don't know what the B-O means. |
|
|
Harvard College L I don't know what this L means either. |
|
|
Harvard Pole Holes These pole holes were probably installed with removable poles and ropes to keep the students in line during orientation. |
|
|
Harvard Drain This drain is not far from the Widener Library. |
|
|
George Washington Was Here This cover says "Here stood the Washington Elm where George Washington took command of the American Army July 3, 1775" in Harvard Square. The last time I went by this spot, this cover was replaced by a generic one. |
|
|
Beautiful Brown Telephone Cover This beautiful brown telephone access cover is a spot not far from the Harvard Stadium in the recreational area on the other side of Soldier's Field Road. |
|
|
MIT Brain Now you know why all the students of MIT are so smart... they obviously pump the brains in from a remote location. |
|
|
Cobblestone Cover I don't believe that it's very old, due to the metal grid underneath. |
|
|
Cambridge Catch Basin I guess "catch basin" was another term for sewer in 1874? This one is very close to Harvard University. |
|
|
Le Corbusier Drain Lines #1 These lines are part of a drainage system designed by the architect Corbusier for the Carpenter Art Center of Harvard University. |
|
|
Le Corbusier Drain Lines #2 They really work. If it were any other building, they wouldn't take such care with the repair. |
