According to the Columbia County Tourist Development Council
(visit link), the "Lake City Historic Commercial District consists of all or parts of fifteen blocks in Lake City’s downtown commercial area. Most of the buildings in the district front on North Marion Street, which is part of U.S. Highway 441. During the historic period the area of Marion Street between Railroad and Duval Streets contained an almost unbroken line of commercial buildings. Since World War II, however, a number of those buildings have been razed. They have either been replaced by modern buildings or their lots left vacant, creating an obvious gap between some of the contributing resources of the area. For this reason, the boundaries of the district encompass two discontinuous areas, which share a common period of significance and contribute to an understanding of the extent of the city’s historic commercial sector."
