The Scott Commercial Building is a historic building located in Sarasota, Florida at 261 South Orange Avenue.
In 1959, Clarence Scott commissioned William Rupp and Joseph Farrell to design a commercial building that would serve as a showroom for the Barkus Furniture Company.[2] Rupp and Farrell designed the building the following year. The building displays the characteristics of the Sarasota School of Architecture in planning and design, which was a prominent design in Central Florida.[3] The building features a stucco exterior, large picture windows, and large extending concrete rafter beams.[4]
In 2016, the building was restored by architect Guy Peterson and builder Michael Walker. It was rededicated as McCulloch Pavilion and now serves as the Center for Architecture Sarasota, a community-based architecture/cultural organization. On June 7, 2016, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[1] [5]
