City of Tallahassee Historic Waterworks
Tallahassee, Florida
Completed 2007
Budget: $1,752,000
With funding assistance from the Department of State, Division of Historical Resources, project work included selective demolition, underpinning, foundation repair and regrading, extensive masonry repair and tuck pointing, roof framing repair (including the distinctive well hoistways), installation of new roof decking and metal shingle roofing matching the original treatment. Exterior stucco was patched and repainted, and a limited number of wood windows were restored. Significant as a remnant of “modern” engineering civil engineering improvements implemented in Tallahassee during the last quarter of the nineteenth century, the Old City Waterworks is individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It also has been designated a Civil Engineering Landmark. This project, which met the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, ensured the future.
