The building is.located at 891 Tamiami Trail just north of the old Sarasota High School.. It was designed by well known architect Victor Lundy around 1959. It was a 2 story round show case for Lynch’s signature glass walls and wood laminated trusses. The furniture store was operating from 1959 to the late.1960’s (1964 to 1966.)
Vision works opened in the building in the 1970’s. The show room underwent significant changes during the conversion. The expansive glass walls, exposed morning glory wood framing and a floating mezzanine was concealed by the renovation. The building’s openness ,materiality, and structural innovation were lost. Vision works vacated the building in 2016
