The Seagle Building's journey began in the roaring 1920s, initially conceived as the ambitious "Hotel Kelly." Economic downturns halted construction, leaving the structure incomplete and looming over Gainesville as a forlorn monument to unrealized dreams. It wasn't until the mid-1930s that revival efforts, spearheaded by the visionary Georgia Seagle with support from the University of Florida, the city, and federal funds, breathed new life into the building, transforming it into a symbol of resilience and community cooperation.
By the 1980s, the Seagle Building had seen better days, with many of its spaces no longer compliant with modern safety standards. A significant turning point arrived when a Kentucky developer acquired the property for just one dollar, under the condition of full renovation. This marked the beginning of a comprehensive overhaul that included modern wiring, plumbing, and safety systems, culminating in the building's rebirth as a prime location for business and residence in Gainesville.
Today, the Seagle Building stands as a prominent feature of Gainesville's skyline, seamlessly integrating the past with the present.
