Florida Life Building is listed and is in serious danger of demolition by neglect.   Sad commentary.

Glad to see the Gulf Life building made the list.  Definitely deserves to be there.

Speaking of the Trio... any more news on that?

Did I hear something about the historic preservation tax credits going to the city council for approval, or am I making that up?

Why isn't the top photo of the UNF Student Union captioned?

Rink Design will be ineligible to receive the award if the UNF Student Union because it no longer exists. I am sure that UNF will receive it in its place.

It was a title picture and it didn't have the option.  I've added the credit to the end of the article.

Okay, it's a joke right?

Jacksonville Terminal Station didn't make the cut?

Instead of just hosting an exhibit at MOSH how about we cut a portion down, cover the cul de sac and make River City's entrance more towards the 95 south ramp and in it's place build a new modern museum of Science and History? Meanwhile keeping the planetarium and some old exhibits, in it's honor of course. Hey, even the people who did the Cummer back lawn can build a nice knoll leading down to the fountain.

Maybe it would be on this list someday.

We've learned that the UNF Student Union - perhaps most widely known as the building Tacachale works in - is now at #2 in the polls, the only Jax building in the top 5. It's also at the top in the Educational building category and is one of the top picks by professional architects. Almost there...

Also, the Florida Theater is at the top in the performing arts buildings categories.

Jacksonville has more buildings in this list than any other city. Come on folks, let's vote for our Jax buildings!

Today's the last day to vote for our Jacksonville buildings. The UNF Student Union is near the top in the vote:

The Florida Theater is at the top of the performing arts category:

The polls close at midnight, so come on and support our architectural heritage!
