Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Croton Distributing Reservoir, also known as the Murray Hill Reservoir, was an above-ground reservoir at 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue in the New York City borough of Manhattan. Covering 4-acre (16,000 m2) and holding 20 million US gallons (76,000 m3), it supplied the city with drinking water during the 19th century. Its massive 50-foot-high (15 m) granite walls, which presented a vaguely Egyptian-style facade, were 25 feet (7.6 m) thick. Atop the walls was a public promenade offering panoramic views; Edgar Allan Poe enjoyed walking there.

Summary from Español / Spanish Wikipedia (eswiki)

El antiguo depósito de Croton, también conocido como el embalse Murray Hill, fue un depósito sobre el suelo en la calle 42 y la Quinta Avenida, en Manhattan (Nueva York). Suministró el agua potable a la ciudad durante el siglo XIX. El depósito era un lago artificial de 4 hectáreas (40,000 m²) de superficie, rodeado de muros de granito de 15 metros de alto, por 7,6 metros de grosor. El embalse tenía una capacidad total de más de 75 millones de litros (20 millones de galones).[1]​ Su fachada se hizo en un estilo vagamente egipcio. La parte superior de las muros eran paseos públicos desde donde se contemplaban unas vistas impresionantes. Se convirtió en un popular lugar de paseo para los neoyorkinos.
