Endangered Architecture
The Goldberg House by Nils Schweizer
The Goldberg House was the first project designed by Nils Schweizer after he left Frank Lloyd Wrght in 1955. The Nils M. Schweizer
Fellows and Central Florida Modern consider this to be the most threatened modern residential property in the Orlando area. Its
location in multi-million dollar Chaine du Lac development and its exquisite lot, with private island, make it a prime candidate for
demolition. For more information please visit

The Round Building by Robert Murphy
The circular American Federal Building, nicknamed The Round Building, was designed by Robert Murphy, Orlando’s first
modern architect. A striking brise soleil girds the original building, completed in 1962. An upper section, faced with glass,
was added in 1976. The building will be torn down for the construction of the Orlando Performing Arts Center. Central
Florida Modern hopes to save the pre-cast concrete sunscreen only, an icon in the Orlando skyline; they do not wish to
disrupt the construction of the performing arts center. For more information please visit
