The architecture of Jacksonville is a combination of historic and modern styles reflecting the city's early position as a regional center of business. According to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, there are more buildings built before 1967 in Jacksonville than any other city in Florida, though few structures in the city center predate the Great Fire of 1901. Numerous buildings in the city have held state height records, dating as far back as 1902, and last holding a record in 1981.
Completed in 1926, 11 East Forsyth is a Chicago school and Art Deco inspired building designed by the architecture firm, Pringle & Smith. Originally named the Lynch Building, it is located on Forsyth Street, near the intersection of Main Street, in the heart of Downtown Jacksonville.
