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. Managed by the St. Johns Cultural Council, The Waterworks hosts a variety of cultural, educational, and social events, including art exhibits, workshops, and community meetings presented by local organizations.
