Interesting article and pictures. Some have suggested a similar themed museum with a broader history base for Jacksonville. Does anyone know if that is currently being pursued?
I do have one concern. As a packed old house full of important memorabilia, is this building now fire sprinklered? I didn't see any heads in the ceilings from what I could tell. Old buildings are historic and make great backdrops for telling stories but if they and their contents have irreplaceable value, they need to be brought up to today's protection standards. Just look at the tragic loss of priceless history in the fire at Notre Dame in Paris. Fire protection's costs, while not necessarily cheap, would, in hindsight, be a bargain compare to the costs to rebuild what really can't be ever fully replaced.
