Bay Haven School, Mediterranean Revival school building in Sarasota, Florida.
The Bay Haven School building features Spanish architectural elements across its structure, with distinctive design details by architect M. Leo Elliott.
The school, constructed in 1926 for $77,000, became the first elementary institution in Sarasota County to integrate students racially in 1962.
The educational facility reflects the architectural preferences of the 1920s Florida construction period through its Mediterranean Revival style characteristics.
Located at 2901 West Tamiami Circle, the building maintains its original educational purpose while preserving historical architectural elements for public viewing.
City planner John Nolen specifically selected this location as one of two designated spots for schools in the developing residential areas of Sarasota.
