4 out of 10 could be taken off the list if the Laura Trio project ever gets off the drawing board and becomes real.  Hayden Burns is not as endangered as the rest IMO, but they could easily do a Top 20 list.

While all sad - the trio is bar far the most heartbreaking. Those builds are really works of art - not to mention their location.

What would Jaxons from the early 1900s thing of them today?

Losing any of these is heartbreaking .

I'd add JACKSONVILLE TERMINAL to the list, because if JTA'S nightmare of a train station ever happens there, they would butcher the original 1919 edifice, destroy the pedestrian subways, and add an insane 7 city block long concourse to tie the abomination to their Greyhound Station. Hell, we'd be better off leaving it as it is.

[Timkin]

Until we have leadership, Council and management in this city that cares and truly WANTS to see these places spared and restored,  We will continue to lose them.

Spilled milk I know, but just the money spent on building a Courthouse we never needed, could have gone a long long ways towards revitalizing many of these places. We should have updated and kept (for now) the Old Courthouse which obviously maybe be at the bottom of the list, but nonetheless, should go on it. The building is doomed.

Lets hope in the case of the Terminal that JTA's insane plan never comes to pass. Id rather the Building and the tunnels remain as they are.
