This designation, requested by the Jacksonville Historic Preservation Commission, recognizes the property's cultural, historical, and architectural value. Future exterior alterations, new construction, demolition, or relocation will now require a Certificate of Appropriateness, as per Chapter 307 of the Ordinance Code.
