City Waterworks, Sarasota

The City Waterworks in Sarasota, Florida, is a historic site recognized for its Mediterranean Revival architecture, built in 1926. Originally serving as a pumping station and office for the city's water services, the building fell into disrepair by the 1970s. After being restored by a private buyer in 2002, it was transformed into office space. In 2018, it was purchased for $1.3 million and repurposed into a vibrant business and social club, making it an interesting stop for tourists and researchers interested in local history and architecture.
