A great building with a great new use. This is another example of how the overlay would have prevented this project, but a zoning change (in this case, RMD to CRO) made it possible.

Open Wednesday-Saturday
10:00 AM- 5:00 PM
(Except 2nd Wed-Sat of each month)

I just added a historical outline of the building to the article from information found in the Jacksonville City Directories.

Is someone living upstairs? I miss the days of store owners living above their stores.

He has extraordinary taste in his inventory. There is a group of french designed chairs from the sixties that are brilliant.

Do they sell any Jacksonville-specific artifacts?

I've purchased a few large pieces from Vanderleigh. Most of what I've bought has been teak furniture that the owner (Walter Kingston) personally imported from Indonesia. He has gone on extended trips there to search the local towns and villages for interesting pieces - mostly leftovers from the Dutch colonial period. He's also just a generally fascinating character. Ask him to show you his slides from his Asian travel over the years. It's better than National Geographic.

I strongly disagree about Jacksonville being known for embracing demolition.
