Rambunktious Productions Helps with the Auction of Relics from the Ringling Towers











Complete in 1926, The John Ringling Towers were designed by Dwight James Baum and built by Owen Burns. The building was originally called the El Vernona Hotel. John Ringling acquired the hotel in 1930 and eventually renamed it. In the early 1980’s the building was closed and sat vacant. On March 28, 2009, Sarasota Architectural Salvage presented relics from the building to the public at an event that brought attention to the importance of historic preservation and will benefit future heritage conservation in Sarasota County. Rambunktious Productions was called in by owner, Jesse White to help with decorating the display room's ceiling and bring in accents that will tie the content of the exhibit to it's 1920 roots.
