Miniature painting of Immanuel Episcopal Church

Historic Odessa Foundation, gift of Francis Hort Sharp
1860-1880
The wood water pump in front of the Historic Pump House c.1780 is indicative of the public nature of the center of town. The pump was a necessity for thirsty travelers who otherwise would have had to beg a drink from a resident or purchase it at a livery stable or tavern.
