ORLANDO, FL --- Rhodes+Brito Architects, based in Orlando, recently completed design work for the new Eatonville Gateway (top left photo) that celebrates the city’s 125th anniversary.
Ruffin Rhodes (lower right photo), co-founder and partner at Rhodes+Brito Architects, said the project includes a large clock and a decorative archway that spans W. Kennedy Blvd. at the city’s entrance with a graded crosswalk and landscape.
The arch, mounted on 30 foot brick pedestals, also supports a monumental signboard that tells an important part of Eatonville’s history: “The Town that Freedom Built. Oldest Incorporated African American Municipality in America.”
Rhodes said the project was completed in association with GAI Consultants.
Rhodes+Brito Architects is a full-service architectural firm that opened its offices in downtown Orlando in 1996 to specialize in design of public facilities, including schools, airports and courthouses.
