The J.W. McCully Building, constructed circa 1855-56, is a two-story, rectangular brick building in downtown Jacksonville. The building's most distinctive feature is the heavy iron shutters that are closed over all of the buildings windows and doors. This was a fireproofing feature that was common to the period but this is the only building remaining in Jacksonville with this feature. The building is named for John Wilmer McCully, a Canadian born doctor who settled in the area in 1852. McCully served as a representative for Jackson County to the Territorial Legislature. This was one of McCully's many real estate ventures and by the mid-1860s he left town, heavily in debt, ultimately settling in Joseph, Oregon.
