General Note

The Florida Southern College Architectural District is composed of seven architecturally significant buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright that he called "Child of the Sun". It is bounded on the west by Johnson Avenue, on the north by McDonald Street , on the south by Lake Hollingsworth Drive, and on the east by a line running to the east of the Ordway Building and Joseph-Reynolds Hall and to the west of Panhellenic Row. The district was later added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on June 11, 1975 and then designated a National Historic Landmark on March 2, 2012.
