The steam pumping station was built in 1867 on behalf of the then Mill Board of the Westerkogge. The pumping station was located on the Westerdijk near the water mills. A house was also built near the pumping station. The four existing screw mills that drained the Westerkogge polder could no longer keep the polder dry in wet times. The mortar pumping station served as support for the mills, which were maintained. The steam engine had a power of 50 hp. The pumping station was expanded in 1875 and 1891. The machines were supplied by the iron foundry De Prins van Oranje from The Hague. In 1899, the engineering firm W.C. and K. de Wit from Amsterdam were commissioned to replace the three steam boilers and the double centrifugal pump machine with one centrifugal pump machine, thus saving on fuel (coal). In 1936, the steam pumping station was replaced by an electric pumping station, also designed by the W.C. and K. de Wit.

The building was designated as a municipal monument by the municipality of Hoorn in 1988.[1]
