11 East Forsyth
11 East Forsyth, formerly known as the Lynch Building and the American Heritage Life Building, is a historic structure in Jacksonville, Florida. Originally developed by Stephen Andrew Lynch, as its current name suggests, it is located at 11 East Forsyth Street in Downtown Jacksonville.〔Witkowski, Rachel: ("Costly renovation of historic buildings pays off for city" ) ''Jacksonville Business Journal'', April 7, 2006〕 On December 23, 2003, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
Vestcor invested more than $24 million to restore the building's exterior and transform the former offices into loft apartments, which tenants began to occupy during 2003.〔
==Construction==
The 17-story, building originally contained commercial offices and was opened by entrepreneur and film pioneer Stephen Andrew Lynch. It was designed by architects Pringle & Smith in 1926 in the Chicago School style. It was constructed with limestone, marble and a facade of brick; the top of the structure contained a capital of terra-cotta.〔("Lynch Building" ) National Trust for Historic Preservation〕 When it opened in 1926, it was Jacksonville's second tallest building, one floor less than the Barnett National Bank Building.〔〔Marbut, Max: ("The story behind one of Downtown’s historic buildings: The Carling" ) ''Jacksonville Daily Record'', December 10, 2009.〕
The building was renovated in 1962 and renamed the American Heritage Life Building when it was utilized as home office of the ''American Heritage Life Insurance Company''. When the company built a new headquarters and left the downtown during the late 1980s, the structure was unoccupied for many years.〔
