This view of the downtown Jacksonville skyline was shot through the window of The Lobster House Restaurant in the 1950’s. The structure was built on the South bank of the St. Johns River, originally as a boat repair shop and in 1944 it was converted into The Lobster House Restaurant, standing on pilings over the St Johns River. It was destroyed in a fire in 1962 and due to code issues, was not rebuilt. This previous post shows the window this was photographed through, taken from the outside.
