In contrast to the more modernist designs of some of Olsen’s water treatment facilities, the Tarboro plant displays a strongly classical character, with a central entrance and office pavilion with quoins and a Palladian type entrance, flanked by wings with arched windows with keystones, which light the functional spaces within. Located within the central part of town, it blends with the predominantly traditional local architecture. Additional elements are of concrete.
