Holy hell!  That place is fantastic inside! 

Who owns it now?  What's its status?

It is hard to believe this is not a night club /restaurant... or something...

Looks like it is tight or they are still running HVAC. Only three damaged ceiling tile. Empty yes.....but "abandoned" seems a little inaccurate.

I believe it has been on the market a while.

Didn't HBO film some scenes from their movie about the Florida electoral vote recount inside the building?

I remember going here as a kid for family dinners, and in particular walking in on a raunchy bachelor party in the private bar upstairs. Didn't quite understand what I was seeing, but stole a few Playboys from the locker room to further my research.

That would be a great location for a restaurant/ Jacksonville museum. Since that area is already established with the library and JMOCA, a museum that perhaps highlights Hemming Park ( Ax handle , great fire, Presidential speeches, etc) would be a good idea, I think. Jacksonville Historic Council should be all over this.

What a beautiful place.  I wish it would become a social club again.  Or restaurant and museum per Dapperdan's suggestion.

This is one hell of a building. Hopefully someone will take this up and do something cool with it.

Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?
