Apparently Gainesville lost out on having one FLW building. A fraternity that had arranged for his lecture on campus asked him to design a new frat house for them at UF. Sadly, only the blueprints have survived what were long processes regarding permits, costs and university approval. We had our chance, yet blew it.
Wizrap - yes, the Florida Southern College is a fantastically beautiful campus, and people come from all over the world to visit it. It is consistently rated one of the most beautiful campuses. And the neat thing is, they are still building from some of his plans! The whole town here has a lot of FLW influence. Definitely a unique feature.

If you ever get the chance, come down and take the tour!
