The Florida Barber College located on Park Street just West of King Street in the 1970’s. According to Wayne Wood’s book Jacksonville’s Architectural Heritage, the Art Deco structure was built in 1941 as the Orange State Oil Company Service Station. The building is now the home of the European Street Cafe.

From ’75-’77 maybe? I used to get my hair cut here in about ’76-’77 for $3.00 which was cheap even then since they were students. The Owner was a friend of the family who’s wife had cut my mother’s hair since the early 50’s. I believe that is the owner’s white caddy under the drive-thru.
