Harvard Jolly Architecture was founded in 1938 by William B. Harvard, Sr. Today, his one-man practice has evolved into a regional enterprise with offices spanning the state of Florida in St. Petersburg, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, West Palm Beach, Fort Myers and Sarasota. William B. Harvard, Sr. moves to St. Petersburg, Florida - both he and his newly adopted hometown begin to recognize the promise of things to come.
Harvard goes against the tide of Mediterranean Revival architecture with a design concept he called "modern tropical." Harvard's climate-conscious use of warm woods, balconies and cross-ventilation quickly stimulated a thriving residential design practice. One of Harvard's first commercial assignments was the expansion of St. Joseph's Hospital, which was then located near downtown Tampa.

A city or town's civic buildings and libraries tell a lot about a community. These facilities are the community's 'living room' where people go to learn, meet, and interact. As a person who has used libraries throughout my life, I credit my personal and professional development to them. Our designs provide an enjoyable architectural experience and atmosphere for our clients and the building's users.
At Harvard Jolly Architecture, we provide the result clients value most: a functional design; a team that listens; quality, professionalism and attention to detail from the first sketch to the completed project. Since 1938, we've maintained a continuity of leadership. The professionals you dealt with ten or twenty years ago are often the professionals you deal with today.
