This pump, fully in view of the sidewalk, is in a yard, no one was home to ask permission, so I did not find out if it pumped water.
Pump Details:
" Individual rubber "buckets" mounted on a chain (Chain and Buckets sold separately) and powered by crank, lift water up through a heavy plastic tube (not included). Raise water straight up from as much as 30', from cisterns, tanks and even ponds, lakes or rivers - fast enough to fill a 5-gallon bucket in under a minute.
• Lift water up to 30 feet
• Cast iron drive and spout
• Galvanized housing and tough plastic pipe and reservoir with a Powder-coated steel frame
• Minimum opening of 3" x 13" in mounting platform is needed
• For drop pipe use 1-1/2" plastic pipe (widely available, you supply as much as you need)
• 44" Tall, Mounting Flange 12-1/4" x 15-1/4" Head weight 38 lbs

House Information:
General description: One and one half story building rectangular
in shape constructed of brick laid in common bond resting on a
dressed coursed ashlar stone foundation visible at the façade
while on the side elevations it is rock faced.
Full cellar beneath.
"setting: The house is built to the sidewalk on the façade. There
is a limited sideyard on the west, though on the east there is a
wood grape arbor in a side yard which is enclosed with pointed
paling fence at the sidewalk ending at the wall of a garage at the
east edge of the property. The house backs to a stone retaining
wall. The house site is actually dug from the slope of a hill side
rising to the north." ~ DNR Historic Survey PDF page 390
