Orlando's Round Building This 20' tall pre-cast concrete architectural element is one of the surviving segments of the 120 pieces that formed the "Brise Soleil" curtain wall that wrapped around what was known as "Orlando's Round Building". Located on Orange avenue across from City Hall from 1964-2014, this modernist style building was built for the American Federal Savings and Loan Association. Architect Robert Murphy, a Harvard graduate and student of Walter Gropius (Founder of Bauhaus), designed the building and Frank Sheehy drew the plans. Jack Jennings was the General Contractor.
