Architecture Sarasota President Marty Hylton leads this insider tour of The Bay Cultural District with visits to six significant buildings that relay the origins and development of Sarasota’s 20th-century modern architecture:
■ Municipal Auditorium (1937) by Thomas Reed Martin with Clarence Martin
■ Chidsey Library (1941) by Thomas Reed Martin and Frank Martin

■ Blue Pagoda, former Chamber of Commerce (1956) by Victor Lundy

■ Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall (1970) by Wesley Peters, Taliesin Associated Architects
A public-private partnership, The Bay “preserves, restores, and transforms 53 acres of city-owned land into a blue-green oasis.” The Bay District was included as No.53 on Architecture Sarasota's Moderns That Matter: Sarasota 100 under the “Recreational” category.
