The Sarasota Counseling Center

The Sarasota Counseling Center
Sarasota, Florida

This was a remodel of a house offered by Sears Roebuck.  It had gone to wrack and ruin and Dr. Livingston Otis wanted to buy it and turn it into his office.  So, that is what happened.  It was the first historic project in Sarasota and was given an award. Being first, we endured as they figured out in time what their laws dealing with historically designated properties were going to be.  Dr. Otis, the contractor, and I were all quite proud of how this turned out.
