Design Build Companies plans to incorporate an old well pump into a house design after finding the fixture still mounted in the ground inside an addition.

In its November 8 Facebook post, the company said the pump remains connected to an old well, although the well itself has been disconnected. The addition was built around the pump. The company suspects the addition dates to the 1950s, but did not confirm its age.

The company asked readers for ideas about how to include the pump in the home's design. Its post did not identify the property's location or describe a final design.
