Illustration of an orange engine house with tall chimneys and steam billowing out from them. Inside is a smaller blue engine house. A key next to them shows an orange box with the date 1868, and a blue box with the date 1768. A pipe runs from the bottom of the engine house into a blue square pond and then along to a series of buildings.
