| MWRD posted on Aug 23, 2022 An interior view of the Calumet Pumping Station on February 9, 1921. MWRD posted again with the same comment. Paul Petraitis: Address? Dennis DeBruler: Paul Petraitis I had assumed this was part of the Calumet WRP. But then I noticed that they were still excavating land for that facility in 1921. I found an address of 125th and Indiana Ave for the Calumet Pumping Station. It is extant: https://maps.app.goo.gl/af6btenr389RMpLE6.
