History
[edit]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.[1] The building's architecture was by Bohmer-Reinhart & Company.[citation needed]
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.[2] 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.[3]
