The Carling
The Carling, formerly known as the Carling Hotel and Hotel Roosevelt, is a historic building in Jacksonville, Florida, United States built in 1925. It is located at 31 West Adams Street in Downtown Jacksonville. As its former names indicates it was originally a hotel, and was used for that purpose until 1964; it currently serves as a residential building. ==Construction== The 13-story building originally contained 335 rooms and was designed by noted New York City architects ''Thompson, Holmes & Converse'' in 1925 and held in Italian Renaissance style. A newspaper story depicted it as "300 rooms with bath, running ice water, fans and the latest equipment in the rooms. The three lower stories are faced with Indiana limestone above which is a shaft of red brick. The upper stories are trimmed with terra-cotta, and surmounted by a balustrade with limestone coping. The building is of completely fireproof construction."〔Wood, Wayne & Davis, Judy: (''Jacksonville's Architectural Heritage'' ), 1989, ISBN 0-8130-0953-7. Retrieved December 11, 2009.〕 When it opened on September 1, 1926, it was one of Jacksonville's finest hotels.〔Marbut, Max: ("The story behind one of Downtown’s historic buildings: The Carling" ) ''Jacksonville Daily Record'', December 10, 2009.〕
Placement of the building was unusual at the time because it was situated in the middle of a block, rather than on a corner. It was constructed and managed by Atlanta's Dinkler Hotel Company, which owned and operated nearly two dozen upscale hotels in the southeastern United States. The facility was named after Carling L. Dinkler, who claimed to be the youngest hotel executive in the U.S.
