City Waterworks, Sarasota
The City Waterworks is a historic site in Sarasota, Florida. It is located at 1005 North Orange Avenue. On April 23, 1984, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
History
The Sarasota Water Works building is a two-story red brick Mediterranean Revival building built in 1926. The western end of the building served as a pumping station, and the eastern end as an office for the city's Water Works. The building's architecture was by Bohmer-Reinhart & Company.
By the early 1970s, the building was abandoned. In 2002, a private buyer bought the building from the city and restored it, creating an office space. In February 2018, the building was purchased by Robin Jennings and Rachel McAree for $1.3 million and repurposed into a business and social club.
