Camp Blanding Home Relocations

6 comments.-

  “These buildings were from Camp Blanding right after World War II.  They would take them from the camp and move them to your lot. Hundreds of people bought them and were very happy.  I think the cost was something like $750.00 total.  1947, 1948, 1949.”  LS The sign in front of one of the […]

Levy’s Store At Corner of Adams and Hogan, 1960’s

No comments.-

“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 […]

Baptist Hospital Nearing Completion

4 comments.-

“Another view of the Baptist Hospital with the new Prudential Insurance Company in the background.  This was in 1948, lots of changes since then.”  LS It is likely that the date of this photograph is in the 1950’s rather than the late 1940’s.  Please check out the additional comments.

Eastman Kodak Stores, Inc.

4 comments.-

“This is the Eastman Kodak Store before the government forced them to close, because you can’t manufacture, wholesale and retail.  This was on Adams St. Between Laura & Hogan Streets.  1954.”  LS The building still stands but it would be easy to miss just driving past it since most of the character has been erased […]

Downtown Woolworth’s, 1954

Penny store had not moved in.  This was on the corner of Monroe and Hogan Streets.  This was 1954.”  LS The window signs advertise for the Grand Opening, Wednesday 9 O’Clock, March 23rd.  The […]

Bono’s Bar-B-Que, 1954

7 comments.-

“The day that Lou Bono’s Bar-B-Que opened up on 4907 Beach Blvd.  I remember what Lou said that day, “I paid too much for that land, it was $75.00 a front foot, I guess I’ve lost all my money.”  Today that property is worth $2,000 a front foot.  O yes, that was 750 feet deep, […]

Jacksonville’s New City Hall in the final stages of construction. According to the sign on the construction fence, “Another Great Stride in Jacksonville’s Progress.” “This is the Jacksonville, Florida City Hall just before it was dedicated.  1960.  Note how clear the sky was in those days.” LS

Building Boom

2 comments.-

One of the numerous incarnations of this particular block of downtown Jacksonville over the years.  This was probably for the construction of old Robert Meyer Hotel, the Woolworth and J.C. Penney buildings.  The site currently hosts the Federal Courthouse Complex.
