“A view of downtown Jacksonville from West, From the Riverside High Rise on a gray day But it is a Interesting view.” LS
According to photographer Loyd Sandgrens’ note accompanying this print the photograph was taken from the Park Lane apartment building on the West edge of Memorial Park and looking toward the Northeast. The Main Street Bridge can be seen with the downtown Jacksonville skyline so it places the photograph after 1941 but before 1954 when the original Fuller Warren Bridge was completed. It is interesting to see the view of the neighborhood that used to be located along the St Johns River in that part of Riverside.
