“A Gator Bowl Parade of the 50’s and as you can see it was the float of the Muntz TV, which was nation wide at that time. This was on Julia St. in front of the George Washington Hotel (Rainbow Room, the night club).” LS

The year was 1970.” LS Great early 70’s view of the far East edge of downtown Jacksonville shot from an upper floor of the Lynch Building looking over the roof of the old downtown library. This predates the Police Memorial Building but the lot in the back right of the […]

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.

A transaction taking place at the ticket window of the Greyhound Bus station in downtown Jacksonville. I’d place this photograph from the late 1940’s or early 1950’s and it was probably the Bay and Hogan Street location which predated the current Greyhound station downtown. Great informational signage.

“The Levy’s store in downtown Jacksonville, 1955. Note on the right was the Kodak store, the tall building on the right was the Greenleaf Building. All buildings still stand but all the names and businesses have changed.” LS Judging by the station wagon on Adams Street I would say this is more likely the 1960’s […]

Probably shot in the 1960’s. This was from a group of photographs owned by Joe Dube’ that were shot by Sandgren who covered Dube’ before […]
