1960’s Jacksonville Skyline

Looking at the Jacksonville skyline from an elevated position on the old Prudential building with the first Acosta Bridge in the foreground and an earlier incarnation of the boat ramp and Friendship park in the lower right of the frame. This was taken after the Lobster House restaurant was demolished and the building that now houses the River City Brewing Company was built.  The photo was taken by photographer Loyd Sandgren in the mid 1960’s.
