Significance: The Sludge Press House was one of three buildings constructed in 1899-1900 during the original development of Fields Point for the treatment of sewage by the chemical precipitation process. The building was designed to contain the machinery by which sludge was dewatered prior to removal and disposal, and as such represented the last important step in the treatment process.
