Featured Project
American Icon Brewery
We are located in the historic Vero Beach Diesel Power Plant building on a 2-acre site. Our building, which was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1999, originally housed a power plant built in 1926.
When it opened in 1926, the Diesel Plant had 3 operating engines. A generator unitwas from 1937 is now the
centerpiece of the American Icon Brewery. It was built next to the FEC railway tracks to allow for equipment
and diesel fuel to be. It is the city of Vero Beach’s oldest municipal building. The Diesel Power Plant was
Vero Beach’s only source of electricity and water (which was also housed at this location) until the late 1950’s.
In 1958, the Diesel Plant was used only as a backup for a new steam plant. Almost 40 years after ceasing daily operations, the building was vacated in 1995. The building has been beautifully restored and now serves.
