A Little About Duckpond:
The Thomas Center located in the heart of the Duckpond is on the National Register of Historic Places, and is considered Gainesville’s cultural center, offering art galleries, 1920 period rooms, performance spaces, local history exhibits, and more. This building is a beautifully restored Mediterranean Revival-style hotel surrounded by the Thomas Center Gardens. Many Duckpond residents are extremely proud to live so close to such a magnificent place and emulate the gardens in their own hidden back yards.
