American Federal Building, Mid-century modern round office building in downtown Orlando, United States
The American Federal Building featured a round structure with a concrete brise soleil pattern surrounding its first two floors and glass walls above.
The structure opened in 1963 as a two-story building designed by Robert Murphy, with five additional floors constructed during the 1973 expansion.
The building's concrete panels received recognition from architecture groups, leading to preservation efforts that saved 68 panels during the 2014 demolition.
One preserved concrete panel from the original structure stands as a public sculpture near the Orange County Regional History Center.
The building's circular design incorporated 120 cast-concrete sections that provided shade protection from Florida's intense sunlight.
