“This shows the way lots of pictures were taken in the 40’s. This place was on West Beaver Street. In those days the workers would stop work and pose for the photographer. As you can see they didn’t clean up the place either, it was a mess.” LS I’ve done some research and talked with […]

An Early 1950’s view of the South side of West Adams Street at the intersection with Laura Street. Kay Jewelers had the corner location, a women’s fashion store and a Planters Peanut store are wedged between Kay and Beck Shoes. Just peaking into the left of the frame is a portion of the Art Deco […]

“This picture was taken looking East at the San Marco Shopping Center, about 1950. You can see the A&P store slightly to the left of center of photo, straight ahead was the bowling alleys, then the telephone building. The road didn’t look too good at the time. S.H. Kress 5&10 cent store can be seen […]

“I think this store was the Lane-Rexall Drug Store on Main & Forsyth Streets. This was a good place to eat and they did a thriving business in the 50’s and 60’s. “ LS I believe Loyd was correct. This image was probably shot in the late 1940’s or early 1950’s when Loyd Sandgren was […]

A nice view looking through the front doorway of the Rexall Drug Store located at the intersection of Forsyth and Main Streets in Downtown Jacksonville. Looks like you would be visually assaulted with advertising as you entered the store. To make matters worse they even used the presidential race between Dwight Eisenhower and Adlai Stephenson […]

“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 […]

“Here is the plant of the Royal Crown Cola Plant, on San Marco Blvd. near the RR Tracks. In the 50’s.” LS Now all you need is a semi load of Moon Pies and you’ve got yourself a proper Southern party.

“The Chevrolet Parts Division on 11th. and Liberty Streets. This was in the 40’s & 50’s.” LS This Springfield industrial building has had a number of incarnations since it was built in 1929. Until 1958 this Albert Kahn designed structure served as a Chevrolet Parts warehouse. It also housed a printing business and later served […]

A store display of tea and spices at an A&P grocery store. The chain hired Loyd Sandgren to photograph showcase examples and prints of the displays would be sent to other stores in the chain to use as a model display. It looks like many of the old brands remain, only the prices have changed.

“This is the way the Woolworth Store looked like just before it opened (note the sign in the windows). The J.C. 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 […]
