The following item appears on the tentative agenda for the August 22nd Historic Preservation Commission Meeting:

1. Proposed demolition of 101 East Bay Street, Guaranty Trust & Savings Bank, Chapter 320.407 per Jacksonville Ordinance Code

The meeting will be held in the Ed Ball Building's 8th Floor conference room. I believe it starts at 3 p.m. ; this item appears near the end of the agenda.

Anyone know more about this?

Is it a landmark?

Here we go again.

Can't wait to see what awesome new vacant lot will replace yet another grand demolished 'eyesore.' this place really gets depressing after awhile.

^ Yep. The only thing to do with an old building is tear it down. Don't spend a few thousand to shore it up or put a roof on it. Bulldoze it.

Saddened, but not shocked at all on this one.
