Built in 1921, the old city electric power plant building is located at the southeast corner of Cascades Park near downtown Tallahassee. It is currently being renovated and will become a restaurant appropriately named The Edison. You can see a picture of what it will eventually look like at their website here.
Linking to Rubbish Tuesday.

I'm trying to imagine what kind of cuisine they'll be serving in The Edison. :-)
Nice that they are restoring the building. I love seeing the older buildings renovated.
that's cool and i love the name they chose!
its great to see old buildings being renovated and turned into something cool
I like the name of the new restaurant!!
That is going to be a very striking building and it looks like it will make a large restaurant.
Interesting, I've seen old electric plants of this style around here. Tom The Backroads Traveller
That's a grand old building and I love the planned renovation. I may have to trip up to Tallahassee just to eat there.
oh, that'll be cool! love the name - and your swishy clouds, too!
Restoring is better than letting it fall down.
Man, everything these days seems to be 'evolving' into eateries.
I think it's great when buildings are saved and renewed/re-used! They have a lot of personality along with their history! This is a great example, Lois!
Great building, but the sky really grabs my attention.
This reminds me of the Cumaean Sibyl answers we studied at school...
Not a bad building for an electric power plant, and the renovated version is stunning!
I love that they do this with old buildings Lois.. So much better than pulling them down.
At least it's being restored!
Glad to hear this building is getting a new life. It would be a shame to lose a piece of history!
What a great name they chose for the restaurant!
It's great that they are saving the building. Thanks for the link, I enjoyed looking at it.
Great pic with that open window and the paper blowing out. Love it. And reminds me of a building in downtown Ft M that I should take and post to Roan's meme sometime. Thanks for the idea ;>)
How cool! I am so glad they are restoring it! I would have named the restaurant the Tesla! :-)
Some of these old industrial buildings can be beautifully converted into new uses, like restaurants.
