The Haydon Burns Library was designed by Taylor Hardwick and built in 1965. The library closed in 2004 and the building was nearly demolished in 2006.

Sanford Auto Company [gone]
Sanford, FL
The Sanford Auto Company, a repair garage, appeared vacant when these photos were taken in 2009. The building originally housed Butte Knit Clothing, a manufacturing business. In 2011, the building was demolished.

Barrier Islands Gazette
Treasure Island, FL
I believe the Barrier Islands Gazette building previously housed a real estate office. Before that, it may have been used as a Chamber of Commerce. Can anyone confirm the history of this building? Since these photos were taken in 2008, the building has been repainted and is now occupied by a deli. For more, see this website.

The Civic Center and Auditorium were designed by Ricks & Kendrick and built in 1963.
