These people boarded at this trellised Jacksonville home during the 1880s.  They included a baby and at least one little boy.  The African Americans were probably servants, maids, and/or cooks.  In 1890, the city's population numbered only 17,201.  This is less than Jacksonville Beach's total of almost 21,000 in the year 2000.
