Description

Old Duval County Courthouse and Annex. "This Duval County Courthouse (foreground) was built after the Great Fire of 1901 facing Market Street between Forsyth and Adams Streets, designed by architect Rutledge Holmes, the two and half story Neo-Classical Revival style building featured a towering domed cupola. In 1914, the need for increased court space resulted in plans for this newer building, also designed in the Neo-Classical Revival style, as an annex to the 1902 building. In 1960, Jacksonville lost one of the most distinctive post-Fire buildings when the old 1902 courthouse was demolished. The courthouse annex was converted into a bank. In 1988 the annex was remodled for office space by the City of Jacksonville." -The Jacksonville Architectural Heritage
