SHS Old Building
01-04-2020 It was surreal to witness the Sarasota High School "old building's" transformation into a world-class art museum. Though the original exterior was restored, only a few of the interior facades retained their original character.

Old Spanish Bldg
05-23-15 The corner of an elder Spanish apartment building was all that remained this morning.
