Here is a picture of the Pumping Station as it appeared in 1923:
The Smith-Towner bill, which was to take effect 1 April 1920, would have created the Department of Education that authorized many actions, such as compulsory education and the training of teachers. It was landmark legislation, but failed to pass, ultimately. I think it's interesting I have never heard of it. If you are interested in reading the bill, here is a website that has a facsimile of it: Smith-Towner.
