Great find!

I am simply amazed to see that we had streets before there were cars...

LOL wagons were just cars with horses for motors.

Cool! Thanks!

I actually have that 1893 one framed in my house. Might get a collection going.

That is really neat. Jacksonville has changed slightly in the centuries , since.

I'm pretty sure these might have been posted here before. So if I stole anyone's thunder, I apologize.

Same here. I never saw these...

I was looking at the general area that the Parkview Inn (Now Parkview Pavilion is located) and see a drawing of a Chimney... Was that the Coal Gasification plant or does this map pre-date that?

Either way, im glad it was posted. I would love to have seen it as a city then. :)
