Pumping station in Amsterdam School style

In the municipality of Haarlemmermeer, every place of residence has its own iconic building by which you can recognize the place. Boesingheliede is officially so small that it is a hamlet instead of a real village. You can recognize Boesingheliede by the pumping station. This characteristic water pipe pumping station on Schipholweg is on the list of municipal monuments.

The building was designed in Amsterdam School style and is now used as the pump building of the Municipal Water Company of Amsterdam.
