The architecture of Jacksonville varies in style.
Few structures in the city center predate the Great Fire of 1901.
The city is home to one of the largest collections of Prairie School style buildings outside the Midwest.
Following the Great Fire of 1901, Henry John Klutho would come to influence generations of local designers with his works by both the Chicago School, championed by Louis Sullivan, and the Prairie School of architecture, popularized by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Jacksonville is also home to a notable collection of Mid-Century modern architecture.
Local architects Robert C. Broward, Taylor Hardwick, and William Morgan adapted a range design principles, including International style, Brutalism, Futurism and Organicism, all applied with an American interpretation generally referred to today as Mid-century modern design.
The architecture firms of Reynolds, Smith & Hills (RS&H) and Kemp, Bunch & Jackson (KBJ) have also contributed a number of important works to the city's modern architectural movement.

Jacksonville's early predominant position as a regional center of business left an indelible mark on the city's skyline.
Many of the earliest skyscrapers in the state were constructed in Jacksonville, dating to 1902.
The city last held the state height record from 1974 to 1981.
The tallest building in Downtown Jacksonville's skyline is the Bank of America Tower, constructed in 1990 as the Barnett Center.
It has a height of 617 ft (188 m) and includes 42 floors.
Other notable structures include the 37-story Wells Fargo Center (with its distinctive flared base making it the defining building in the Jacksonville skyline), originally built in 1972–74 by the Independent Life and Accident Insurance Company, and the 28-floor Riverplace Tower.
When this tower was completed in 1967, it was the tallest precast, post-tensioned concrete structure in the world.
