History

In 1959, Clarence Scott commissioned William Rupp and Joseph Farrell to design a commercial building that would serve as a showroom for the Barkus Furniture Company.{{cite web |url=https://cfasrq.org/the-center/building-history/ |title=Building History |website=Center for Architecture Sarasota |accessdate=May 3, 2018}} Rupp and Farrell designed the building the following year. The building displays the characteristics of the Sarasota School of Architecture in planning and design, which was a prominent design in Central Florida.{{cite web| url=https://www.nps.gov/nr/feature/places/pdfs/14001116.pdf| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180504091003/https://www.nps.gov/nr/feature/places/pdfs/14001116.pdf| url-status=dead| archive-date=May 4, 2018| last=Hylton III| first=Morris|title=NPS Form 10-900 National Register of Historic Places Registration Form – Scott Commercial Building Certified by Florida Bureau of Historic Preservation. |publisher=National Park Service |date=April 22, 2016 |accessdate=May 3, 2018}} The building features a stucco exterior, large picture windows, and large extending concrete rafter beams.{{Cite web |url=https://dos.fl.gov/communications/press-releases/2016/secretary-detzner-announces-the-recent-designation-of-florida-properties-on-the-national-register-of-historic-places/ |title= Secretary Detzner Announces the Recent Designation of Florida Properties on the National Register of Historic Places |date=September 20, 2016 |website=Florida Department of State |access-date=May 18, 2018}}
