What's the history with the building directly adjacent Burrito Gallery to the East? It's definitely different looking... Thanks

The one with the silver sparkly archway? Next to the old fire station?
Used to be an office (home?) of a gas company. Don't remember which one.
It's a Klutho building. It was constructed in 1914 for the Home Telephone Company. I think Jacksonville Gas revamped the facade during the 1960s.

Wow! Is that building lost behind the facade!
I'd love to see the interior. I bet there's some lost Jax history there
If anyone wants a tour the owner's a decent fellow, I'm sure he wouldn't have a problem showing you around.
