MYSTERY IMAGE: HOUSE MOVING

(Source of picture: Florida State Archives)
This house is getting a lift, apparently to a new
location. Can someone identify the dwelling? This 1948
photo is from Garden City, a Northside community between the Trout
River and Jacksonville International Airport. There aren't too
many other clues to the mystery, except for the somewhat distinctive
gable atop the house. The picture was taken by Jax photographer
Jack Spottswood.
MYSTERY SOLVED???
-- This anonymous house may've been located near the intersection of
Caper and Lem Turner Road. It might have belonged to the Dowling
family, according to Morgan Crissman, a longtime resident of the
area. The possible address, 10572 Lem Turner, is now occupied by
a Sherwood Williams paint store. (Special thanks goes to Barbara
"Bobbie" Crissman for obtaining this information from her father.)
