About 25 Central Square

CELEBRATE THE ART OF LOVING LIFE within steps of the Gulf of Mexico at 25 Central Square  in Seaside, Florida. Known for its colorful purple street-art mural, depicting Vincent Scully, Jr., the American art historian who was a Sterling Professor of the History of Art in Architecture at Yale University, 25 Central is the only building dedicated to an arts collective on Scenic Highway 30A. The historic structure, commissioned by Robert & Daryl Davis, was designed by Machedo-Silvetti Architects in 1990 in harmony with the design by Andres Duany and Lizz Plater-Zyberk for the master plan of Seaside.  Overlooking the town square, 25 Central aspires to a strong civic expression that is especially suited for 30A’s most established purveyors and beloved artisans. – Art of Simple, La Vie Est Belle, Amavida Coffee and Anne Hunter Galleries.
