Several architectural styles are represented within the city. [[Victorian architecture|Victorian]], [[Colonial Revival]], [[Art Deco]], [[Classical Revival]], and [[Prairie School]] are all prominent building styles in the historical districts. One of the most notable buildings is the old James Hotel at 300 St. Johns Avenue. The hotel was constructed by Dr. George E Welch, president of the now defunct Putnam National Bank. Designed by architect [[Henry John Klutho]] in 1916, this building is a prime example of the [[Prairie School]] style.<ref>Prairie School Traveler, [http://www.prairieschooltraveler.com/html/fl/jameshotel/James-Hotel.html James Hotel].</ref> Klutho also designed the [[Larimer Memorial Library]], named after the wife of James Ross Mellon, eldest son of Judge [[Thomas Mellon]]. The library is a fusion of Prairie School and Art Deco. Today, the building is home to the Art Council of Greater Palatka and houses local art galleries. The Larimer was added to the U.S. [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 2008.<ref>RET-TBD, [http://www.ret-tbd.com/Larimer%20Arts.html Larimer Arts] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715174712/http://www.ret-tbd.com/Larimer%20Arts.html |date=2011-07-15 }}.</ref>

Though there are no discernible architectural styles in the outgrowth areas, a notable building technique has been used in the construction of the {{convert|23000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} Children's Reading Center Charter School. Five [[monolithic dome]] structures crown the facility and give it a distinct style.<ref>Putnam County School District, , Children's Reading Center Charter School, [https://web.archive.org/web/20110718091720/http://crccs.putnamschools.org/crccs/Our_school.html Our School].</ref>
