John Latham Volk (October 15, 1901 - February 20, 1984) was an Austrian-born American architect who designed public buildings and private residences in and around Palm Beach, Florida from the 1920s until his death in 1984.[1] Although there is no particular style exclusively associated with Volk, he worked with many styles from Mediterranean Revival to Modern.[2] Volk was among a group of architects considered the “Big Five,” along with Marion Sims Wyeth, Addison Mizner, Maurice Fatio, and Howard Major, who defined Palm Beach style in the early twentieth century.
