== History ==
This structure was built to house a water pump and in spite of its impressive architecture remained locked and unused for over three decades.<ref name=":1" /> It was designed by a Swiss architect [[Pierre Jeanneret]].

== Display ==
It has old pictures, drawings and sketches<ref name=":0" /> that reveal many aspects of Sukhna Lake such as light fixtures and the entrance gate. The structure was restored and renovated and has around 30 pictures. It also holds the books "'''Moods of Sukhna'' and ''Sukhna - Sublime Lake of Chandigarh''.<ref name=":0" /> (2009).

== Announcement and design ==
The announcement of converting this structure to the Interpretation Centre took place on 1 October 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.amarujala.com/chandigarh/museum-inaugurated-on-sukhna-lake-advisor-said-now-people-will-be-able-to-see-the-journey-of-sukhna-chandigarh-news-pkl3589308199|title=सुखना लेक पर म्यूजियम का उद्घाटन, एडवाइजर बोले- अब झील का सफर देख सकेंगे पर्यटक|website=Amar Ujala|access-date=2020-04-13}}</ref> It took the Engineering department two months to convert it.
