Vero Beach Diesel Power Plant, محطة طاقة في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية
The Vero Beach Diesel Power Plant is a power station in Vero Beach, Florida, built in 1926 with simple brick architecture. The building has a straightforward, practical design and was constructed beside railroad tracks to facilitate fuel delivery.
The power plant was built in 1926 and was the first public electricity facility in the city, contributing significantly to infrastructure development. It remained operational until the late 1950s and was a key factor in Vero Beach's industrial expansion.
The building is called the "pulse of the city" by historians and represents Vero Beach's transition into an industrial hub connected by rail. The brick structure and practical design show how this facility shaped daily life for generations of residents.
The building is located on 19th Street, easily walkable and near downtown. Visitors can view the structure from outside or explore the American Icon Brewery now housed inside.
After shutting down in the early 1960s, the structure faced demolition but was converted into a craft brewery in 2017. This transformation preserved the historic brick facade while installing modern brewing equipment inside.
