WHITE ROCK PUMP HOUSE

In response to increased population and extended droughts in the early 1900s, this facility was built to provide an additional water supply for the City of Dallas. Designed and built in 1911 by the City Engineering Department, the Renaissance Revival structure features corbelled brick and terra cotta details. Although its use has varied, and much of its original equipment is no longer intact, it remains an important water utility structure.

Atop the southwest shore of White Rock Lake, the historic Filter Building is ready and waiting to host your next affair. Beautiful terraces and sweeping views take your breath away. Our vintage industrial interior serves as the perfect backdrop to carry out any theme. In the urban industrial style of the 1920’s, The Filter Building features exposed red brick walls, original iron trusses, and many windows overlooking White Rock Lake. Add to the mix spacious catering accommodations, simple parking and an easygoing staff, and it’s easy to see why The Filter Building is the definitive answer to your special event venue needs. This is one of the best kept secrets to have a party or large gathering in Dallas. Amazing views of White Rock Lake.
