Jax Car Sales
Jacksonville, FL
David Johnson's
St. Johns, FL
The Jax Car Sales building was constructed in 1969. Does anyone know what was here originally?

David Johnson's looks like it might have been a restaurant or part of a motel at one time. The building appeared to be abandoned as of 2009.

Sanford Auto Company
Sanford, FL
The Sanford Auto Company was a repair garage. It appeared to be vacant in 2009. Does anyone know if this was a car showroom originally or if it was used for some other purpose?

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?
