This thesis investigates the historic significance, structural condition, and preservation challenges of the wrought iron roof trusses of the Cochituate aqueduct's inlet gatehouse as the possible earliest surviving example of their type in the United States. Through an examination of the existing structure and archival documentation of the structure's history from archived documents, this project establishes the necessity for the structure's preservation and offers solutions for its future restoration.
