Florida Southern College in Lakeland is the home to the single-site collection of Wright's architecture in the world. We walked around the Western side of the campus and viewed these historic and beautiful buildingshe. There are 8 in all and a wonderful round fountain called the Water Dome completed in 1948 and fully restored in 2007. It's a perfect circle, 160 feet across controlled by a computerized fountain system that propells water 45 feet in the air creating a "dome". All of the builders were contructed between 1939 - 1958.
FSC was founded by the United Methodist Church in 1883 which makes it Florida's oldest private college. Enrollment is approximately 1850 students, with a 12:1 student-faculy ratio. How'd you like to pay this tuition? It's located on the shores of scenic Lake Hollingsworth.
Enjoy the pictures.
