Tankhouse : ウィキペディア英語版
Tankhouse

A tankhouse (also spelled tank house or tank-house) is a water tower enclosed by siding. Tankhouses were part of a self-contained domestic water system supplying the house and garden, developed before the advent of electricity and municipal water mains. The system consisted of a windmill, a hand-dug well and the tankhouse. The windmill pumped water from the well up into the tank at the top of the tankhouse, from where it flowed down under gravity pressure to the house and garden. The system used no fuel or electricity; today it would be called green or eco-friendly.
==Synonyms==
The tankhouse is sometimes called a pump-house, a well-house, a well-tower or just a water tower. But whatever it is called, it is a water tower that is enclosed by siding. The siding is what makes it a "house", with usable interior space. Ordinary water towers, with a tank on top of an open tower, are not tankhouses. The term is also used for an unrelated structure in the copper-refining industry.
