Sanford Auto Company
Sanford, FL
The Sanford Auto Company was a repair garage. It appeared to be vacant when these photos were taken in 2009. I'm told that this building was originally home to Butte Knit Clothing, a manufacturing business.

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?

Civic Center and Auditorium
Fort Walton, FL
The Civic Center and Auditorium were designed by Ricks & Kendrick and built in 1963.

Okaloosa County Courthouse

The Okaloosa County Courthouse was originally built in 1918. In 1955, the building was remodeled.
