The Gulf Insurance Company building on Hogan and Ashley Streets about 1950. The two story art deco style building was designed by architect A. Eugene Cellar and built at 604 North Laura Street in downtown Jacksonville in 1947. The building was bought by First Baptist Church and incorporated into their North downtown campus in 1996.
This seemed like a good time to post this image as plans have been announced to demolish in order to create parking for Jacksonville Fire and Rescue’s downtown headquarters.
