Not sure what this is. Went inside and found nothing but a brick frame. It's beautiful and the masonry is awesome but couldn't find any history, number and/or any other information about this property.

The Waterworks pump house was built in 1904 on the lakeshore between Whitby Harbour and Heydenshore Park. An additional pump house was built o the east of this building in 1959. The original building ceased to be used when a third pump house was completed in 1978. Courtesy of Whitby Public Library site.
This has been around for a very long time. I used to bike by it in the early 2000's
The Work Department (Whitby Water Supply Plant) is next door. Didn't see any intakes so didn't want to assume.
Call the city hall, I'd think that someone there can tell you what it originally was. Probably a plant of some sort.
