Sunol Water Temple Walkaround

The Water Temple was made in 1910 by famed San Francisco architect Willis Polk, who always considered it his masterpiece according to http://www.sunol.org/temple.html. The water originally from the Pleasanton well fields and Arroyo de la Laguna flowed into a white tiled cistern before plunging into a deeper water channel carrying water from the filter galleries to the Niles Aqueduct in Niles Canyon and across San Francisco Bay near the Dumbarton Bridge. Its a very unique piece of art work in the Bay Area and is located just outside of Sunol, CA which is in the Niles Canyon on Highway 84. Filmed 3/8/11
