Ringling Museum Ca d’Zan Gatehouse

Photo Library

Completion Date: 2003/2004
Location: Sarasota, Florida
Construction Cost: $301,700.00

The Ca d’Zan Gatehouse at the Ringling Museum of Art serves as the focal point for the main entry to the museum grounds.  The Gatehouse was constructed in the early 1900’s, in conjunction with John and Mable Ringling’s estate house, Ca’ d’Zan.   In the past several decades, the Gatehouse was abandoned and suffered from neglect, termites, and deterioration.  The scope of this restoration project was to restore the building in its entirety, add HVAC, electrical, security, data, video monitoring and prepare the structure to serve as the entry to the future Visitors Center and expanded Ringling Museum.  The project consisted of replacing deteriorated floors and wall framing, furring, as well as replacing the entire roof structure.  The exterior masonry wall veneers’ cast iron grates and grills, and windows were completely restored, and all interior finishes were replaced, including plaster walls, floor tile, and ceilings.  The remaining existing vaulted plaster ceiling in the entry/porch was removed during the roof demolition, and a new framing, grounds and plaster system was installed.   

MLD Architects receives historic preservation awards.

EXCELLENCE IN HISTORIC PRESERVATION: 
2011 HISTORIC PRESERVATION AWARDS
   
MLD is proud to announce that the rehabilitation of Dodd Hall and the Cape San Blas Lighthouse were honored with both local and state recognition for excellence in historic preservation. At the state level, Dodd Hall and the Cape San Blas Lighthouse received Outstanding Achievement Awards from the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation, and at the local level, Dodd Hall received the Civic / Community Resource Preservation Award and the Cape San Blas Lighthouse received the Preservation Project of Regional Impact Award from the Tallahassee Trust for Historic Preservation. Each year the Tallahassee and Florida Trusts recognize the significant contributions of individuals, societies, businesses and government entities who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in the field of historic preservation, and MLD is pleased and honored to be recognized by these distinguished organizations.

In pursuit of continued excellence in historic preservation, the Division of Historical Resources has engaged MLD Architects for the rehabilitation of the Call-Collins Mansion at The Grove. The Grove is not only historically significant as a notable example of Greek Revival architecture, but also for its association with the political history of Florida, including its role as the residence of Governor Richard Keith Call, and later, the home to Governor LeRoy Collins and Mary Call Darby Collins. The rehabilitation of the Call-Collins House will utilize state of the art preservation and restoration best practices to both preserve and restore historic materials, and incorporate sustainable design for accessibility and a modern infrastructure system. When complete, the Call-Collins Mansion will commemorate Florida history by honoring and memorializing Florida's governors, including Territorial Governor Richard Keith Call and Governor LeRoy Collins, and those who have preserved, maintained and restored The Grove through many generations.

Please join us in celebrating Florida's rich cultural heritage. We offer a toast to all of the individuals and organizations that have worked, with great dedication and reverence, for the preservation our architectural and cultural heritage!

Cheers,
MLD Architects, Inc.
