The Waterworks is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was built in 1898 to be the city's waterworks. When a growing population necessitated the move to a new location, the building served for a time as a community center and theater and was later left unused. Now fully renovated, this facility is accessible and has free parking, yet retains its historic architectural properties and charm.
The St. Johns County Cultural Council reopened The Waterworks as an event and meeting space, and hundreds of cultural events are presented there yearly.
Getting there: While the address is 184 San Marco Avenue, the only driveway on San Marco is Exit Only. Access to the Waterworks is through the St. Johns County Main Library parking lot. (Use 1960 North Ponce de Leon in your GPS.) Coming from the south, you can turn into the driveway closest to the Waterworks, north of the Library.
