Abstract

This was the tallest hotel in Florida when it was built in 1927: 17 stories. The base with its elaborate classical detailing was severely altered in 1960, but much of the original exterior and interior is still there. It was designed by Francis Kennard for Allen J. Simms. You could call the architecture Georgian Revival, though Georgian never knew this height. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
