Stunning Collection of Frank Lloyd Wright Archtecture

My great grandfather was a land speculator in the 30's in Lakeland. He made a generous donation to FSC and his name is etched in to one of the planters by the business office. My mother was an alumni at FSC having graduated in the 40's. As a child my grandparents lived close to the college, so when visiting them on weekends my friends and I would play on the campus grounds. Later when I was older we would run on the roofs avoiding the security guards. I was a student there in the early 70's and graduated in 76' with a degree in Horticulture. I met my wife there as a student and we married just before I graduated. The College has a world renown collection of architecture, a beautiful rose garden and many more sites to see. They have built a visitors center, an early Wright designed Utonian house, that was designed to be faculty housing originally. They have many new buildings to tour. They have a beautiful auditorium and library. They're are ranked nationally in multiple college sports, including basketball and golf. The college is located overlooking a large lake called Lake Hollingsworth. The college is on the National registry of historic places, Plan to visit the college when you come to Lakeland. Enjoy!
