Tank House - Forest Home Farm - San Ramon, CA - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

"The tank house, adjacent to the rear of the Glass House, is a two-story, 350 square foot, flat-roofed structure clad in rustic siding and has a flat roof . It is believed to have been built after completion of the main house. An 1879 lithograph includes the tank house, although it appears slightly different from 1903 images of the building. About 50% of the exterior finishes were missing and the door and windows were deteriorated; the missing materials were replaced during the last six months. The original framing of heavy milled timbers and studs is exposed on the interior and the original interior ladder that provides access to the second floor remains against the east wall. The concrete flooring of the first level was not moved with the building and has been replaced during the rehabilitation. The second floor retains early tongue and groove wall cladding. The tank was removed sometime in the past, as was the adjacent windmill. At some point the structure was remodeled to include an exterior stair and a toilet room on first floor; both have been removed."
