Old WRUF Radio Station, Radio station in Gainesville, United States.
The Old WRUF Radio Station building featured Tudor Revival architecture with reception areas, offices, transmission rooms, and multiple broadcasting studios.
Built in 1928 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, the station operated under Major Garland W. Powell during the Great Depression.
Walter 'Red' Barber started his broadcasting career at WRUF as a student announcer before becoming a major figure in baseball networks.
The building served various functions throughout its existence, including housing the University of Florida Police Department after its radio operations ceased.
The structure was demolished in 2021 despite its historical status, as relocating it would have required an investment of 300,000 dollars.
