The building in question was the coal company's water treatment plant at Caples. It also supplied water to the N&W's 50,000 gallon tank. You can read about it in the article on Farm, WV that appeared in the Arrow some years ago.</div>

<div dir="auto">Tim, I managed to read right over the word “coal” in your original email. My brain saw “it looks like a company-built water tank”, which I interpreted as the N&W. Thanks for reiterating your original point.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I gave a talk to a local group about the steam locomotive water supply, and touched on the treatment structures and processes. Modelers are familiar with coal docks and water tanks, but treatment facilities are a blind spot for most (including me until
two years ago). <br>

<div>My first thought was that it is a component of a water treatment facility; perhaps a mixing or settling tank given its low head. If it is, the structure on top could be housing the mechanism for the metering the treatment materials into the raw water.
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>However as a counterpoint, I don’t find Caples (or Mohegan) on the 1957 list of locations with water treatment plants (shared on this list a year or two ago) and I also couldn’t find anything to support (or counter) that idea in the archives. There’s not
much on Caples.</div>
