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. 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. The building features a
stucco exterior, large
picture windows, and large extending
concrete rafter beams. 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. ==References==
