Municipality of Lefkara Cultural Center
The building was provided by the City Hall to house the generators that a private company had set up in 1933, after a contract with the local Municipality, to supply electricity to the village. The ownership though passed in 1956 at E.A.C. (Electricity Authority of Cyprus). When the generators were removed from the building, a symbolic rent was handed over to the City Hall. The City Hall then, with its own costs, turned it to a youth cultural centre.
