After years of painstaking work,<br />
the Water Works buildings, decks and<br />
pavilions have been restored, thanks to the<br />
generosity of countless individuals and<br />
organizations that have contributed<br />
millions to the restoration.<br />
The South Garden and Cliffside provide<br />
connections between the<br />
Water Works and the Philadelphia<br />
Museum of Art, and the Schuylkill River<br />
Trail from Center City to Valley Forge.<br />
This creates a worthy setting for the<br />
Water Works, one of Philadelphia’s most<br />
impressive crown jewels.<br />

For Philadelphia<br />
The restoration of the South Garden<br />
and Cliffside at the <strong>Fairmount</strong> Water<br />
Works is a project of “Women for the<br />
Water Works,” an initiative of the<br />
<strong>Fairmount</strong> <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Conservancy</strong>,<br />
the non-profit fundraising entity that<br />
works to reclaim <strong>Fairmount</strong> <strong>Park</strong> and<br />
create investment in its future.<br />

This project is also supported by those<br />
who have contributed to the Fund for the<br />
Water Works, a special project of The<br />
<strong>Fairmount</strong> <strong>Park</strong> Commission created to<br />
support the preservation and restoration<br />
of the buildings and landscapes of the<br />
<strong>Fairmount</strong> Water Works.
The decommissioning of the Water Works in 1909<br />
and the demolition of the <strong>Fairmount</strong> Reservoir between<br />
1913 and 1921 reduced the South Garden’s popularity.<br />
Alterations to the Spring Garden Street Bridge in the<br />
1950s cut off access to the Garden from the east.<br />
As public use of the South Garden declined, many<br />
important site features, including original sculptures<br />
and iron fencing, disappeared. By 2005, the seriously<br />
deteriorated condition of the South Garden and<br />
Cliffside posed safety concerns and did not provide<br />
a fitting setting for the newly restored Water Works.<br />
