The year was 1970.” LS Great early 70’s view of the far East edge of downtown Jacksonville shot from an upper floor of the Lynch Building looking over the roof of the old downtown library. This predates the Police Memorial Building but the lot in the back right of the […]

“This picture was taken from the Mayflower Hotel looking East to Northeast. Almost all the buildings you see in this picture have been torn down. The first street you can see in the foreground is Hogan. About 1955.” LS Actually quite a few of the buildings in the upper left half of the photograph are […]

“The Levy’s store in downtown Jacksonville, 1955. Note on the right was the Kodak store, the tall building on the right was the Greenleaf Building. All buildings still stand but all the names and businesses have changed.” LS Judging by the station wagon on Adams Street I would say this is more likely the 1960’s […]

I particularly like the advertising sign on the wall to the left. The billboard has a particular connection to me although it predates me by […]

“This is an extreme wide angle camera, 110 degrees. Picture taken in front of Brown’s Camera Store, 118 West Bay St. The Seminole Hotel, middle top. About 1958.” LS I don’t know exactly what camera Loyd Sandgren used for this shot. I’ve seen the negatives and it was shot on 120 mm roll film. My […]

“The Bisbee-Baldwin real estate Co. on the corner of Forsyth & Pearl St. In the background you can see the George Washington Hotel, on the extreme left is the post office. 1955.” LS This downtown Jacksonville building was built in 1951 and is currently on the market for just shy of a million dollars.

“This picture was taken from Forsyth & Main Streets. Note the Krystal hamburger place, the Woolworth’s. See how many people were on the streets then. 1948.” LS While looking for another image I came across this great street view of Forsyth Street looking West from Main Street that showed downtown with all it’s theaters, stores […]

“This is the way the Woolworth Store looked like just before it opened (note the sign in the windows). The J.C. Penny store had not moved in. This was on the corner of Monroe and Hogan Streets. This was 1954.” LS The window signs advertise for the Grand Opening, Wednesday 9 O’Clock, March 23rd. The […]
