This building was the old South Jacksonville City Hall. The two-story yellow brick building at the corner of Hendricks Avenue and Cedar Street is one of the oldest remaining buildings in the San Marco area, dating to 1915. According to Dr. Wayne Wood, author of Jacksonville’s Architectural Heritage, the building was funded as part of a $65,000 bond issue for civic improvements in South Jacksonville; the building is one of the few reminders that South Jacksonville was a separate and distinct town from Jacksonville, from its incorporation in 1907 to 1932, when the area was annexed into Jacksonville.
At one point this was a fire station and is currently a museum.
