Overview
The Waterworks, originally constructed in 1898 as the city's first water pumping station, is now a vibrant community hub and event space. This distinctive Romanesque Revival building, with its red brick and terra cotta detailing, reflects late 19th-century architectural trends. Recently restored, The Waterworks hosts a variety of cultural, educational, and social events, including art exhibits, workshops, and community meetings. Managed by local organizations, it preserves its historical significance while fostering civic engagement. The Waterworks stands as a testament to St. Augustine's rich heritage and ongoing commitment to historic preservation, bridging the past and present in Florida's oldest city.
