Condos in Frances Carlton 

In 1984, the Frances Carlton joined the National Register of Historic Places. This one-of-a-kind complex possesses a rich history. Built in 1924 near the height of a boom period in Florida real estate that preceded the Great Depression, the building benefited from the skills of two famous architects: Francis James of Tampa and Alex Browning, a Scottish immigrant. They created a structure for Sarasota businessman Carlton Teate that today remains a masterpiece of Mediterranean revival design. The main entrance displays a magnificent white marble staircase.

Each of the 20 units measures 720 square feet and boasts an efficient floor plan with extensive closet and storage space. Residents enjoy a swimming pool, air conditioning, assigned parking and the beauty of solid refinished interior hardwood floors and graceful, arching windows. 

Each condo possesses a cozy sunroom. Some of the units offer impressive city views. The Frances Carlton Condos enjoy ready access to Sarasota's downtown, yet retain many of the qualities of a small, sheltered urban community.
