The buildings
shown below were once considered
for inclusion in this inventory of Jacksonville's
landmark sites. They didn't make
it. In fact, these are just a few of
over one hundred buildings intended for this book that are gone.
All were either demolished, burned, removed,
or remodeled beyond recognition between the time the survey of Jacksonville’s
architecture began in 1974 until the time the book was published in
1989. Considered individually, their absence makes only
a subtle change in the landscape.
Collectively, however, the disappearance of so many cherished landmarks
evokes a powerful sense of loss.
