Our story so far

28

In the late 1800s, two brothers, John Arthur Rogers and James Gamble Rogers I, began building an architectural legacy that flourished through three generations of the Rogers family. In 1928, John’s son, James Gamble Rogers II, opened his firm in Winter Park, Florida. For more than two decades, he shaped that community with elegant designs in the styles of Spanish Revival, Mediterranean Revival, French Provincial and Colonial Revival. His notable works include the Florida Supreme Court Building in Tallahassee, historic buildings on the Rollins College campus and more than 60 residences in its surrounding neighborhoods.

In 2014, under Steve Hingtgen Presidency, RLF restructured the team with new focus, goals, thought leadership, and refreshed organization. This also led into a complete brand refresh in late 2016, and into 2017.

In the late 1940s, Ralph P. Lovelock, Laurance W. Hitt and Irwin W. Fritz joined the firm, and in 1967 the name was changed to reflect its partners, Rogers, Lovelock and Fritz.

After earning his degree, serving in the Navy and gaining experience at other firms, Gamble’s younger son, John (Jack) Hopewell Rogers, joined the firm as a partner in 1970.

Gamble Rogers, a Fellow in the American Institute of Architects (AIA), retired in 1980 after 41 years of service.

Jack retired as Chairman and CEO in 2006. Also an AIA Fellow, Jack is a champion of preservation, and he continues to share his experience and wisdom with the architectural community.

Under Steve Hingtgen’s leadership as president in 2014, RLF restructured the team with a new focus, goals, thought leadership and refreshed organization. These changes led to a complete brand refresh in 2016 and 2017.
