Revival Style




















My camera cooperated late this afternoon (and so did the clouds), and I was able to get this shot of the Thomas Center, a beautiful building in the Mediterranean Revival style located in the heart of Gainesville's downtown historic district and Duckpond Neighborhood.

The building makes a fine backdrop for our state tree, the Sabal Palm (Sabal palmetto). The red tile roof and stucco exterior of the building against the bright blue sky make a good case for regional architectural style, too.

  1. Could be a postcard! I love this property, many memories lazing about on the lawn and reading and eating a picnic. :)
