Description
Located on First Street in downtown Sarasota, Florida, this historical landmark was erected in 1925 by I.R. Burns, a very important local developer during 1910 to 1931, and a local distinguished builder named Leadley Ogden.
The structure is an example of commercial construction to accommodate the growth in the Sarasota commercial district during the 1923 to 1926 Florida Boom. This historical building is an example of a Mediterranean Revival Style, a very common style used during the the Florida Boom period. This building is listed on the registry of historical buildings. Over the years this beautiful vine covered building has been home to all manner of businesses, professional offices, city departments, antiques shop and many different restaurants offering varying styles of cuisine starting in the 1980s.
The Chop House Restaurant, as depicted in this photo, is no longer there and has been gone for several years.
