  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize 
Auburndale City Hall on the occasion of its addition to the National 
Register of Historic Places.
   Designed by Polk County architect Roland Buckley and contractor Paul 
Smith, the 87-year-old Italian Renaissance-style building has housed 
the library and Chamber of Commerce, most of the cities departments and 
even jail cells throughout its existence. It is currently home to the 
city's Information Technology Office.
   Noted for its Romanesque architecture, open arches and ornate 
masonry work, City Hall is now among four National Historic buildings 
in Auburndale. It joins the Holland Jenks house, the Baynard House and 
the Auburndale Citrus Growers Association Packing House. It is the 
twelfth city hall in Florida to have secured a spot on the Register.
   It is a privilege to serve the residents of Auburndale, and I thank 
them for their tremendous contributions to the Central Florida 
community.
