KBJ Architects
KBJ Architects, Inc. (KBJ) is an American architectural firm based in Jacksonville, Florida. The firm designed 17 of the city's 30 tallest buildings and "created Jacksonville's modern skyline", according to ''The Florida Times-Union'' newspaper.〔Kerr, Jessie-Lynne: ("Architect transformed city waterfront" ) Florida Times-Union, January 24, 2008〕 The firm designed the first high-rise in downtown Jacksonville, the 22-story Aetna Building, which opened in 1955.〔(Florida Times-Union: March 30, 2005-Essay contest celebrates high rise's 50th birthday )〕 It took pride in "having the second-largest number of architects of any Florida firm", according to a 1997 article in ''The Florida Times-Union''.〔(Floridas Times-Union: October 31, 1997-Diamond leaves KBJ Architects by Simon Barker-Benfield )〕
==History==
Roy A. Benjamin (1888-1963) moved from Ocala to Jacksonville soon after the Great Fire of 1901 and designed many notable buildings in Jacksonville and surrounding areas. His most famous structures were theaters, although most of them have since been demolished. He was one of Jacksonville's most talented and prolific architects.〔() Jacksonville Historical Society: Architects-Roy A. Benjamin〕
Three University of Florida alumni—William D. Kemp, Franklin S. Bunch and William K. Jackson—purchased Benjamin's architectural firm when he retired after World War II and renamed it ''Kemp, Bunch and Jackson'' in 1946. KBJ Architects has been in practice for more than 6 decades and is the oldest architectural firm in Florida. The company also maintains a branch office in downtown Orlando, Florida.
