It seems like a cool infill project. Interesting use of the property with the co-work space and one residential unit, but I've never been one that things we should disapprove a project for a reason like this.

Also points for a cool mural!

Mural would be extra cool if that was, say, the Union calvary coming in to retake Jacksonville during the Civil War.  Would bring to life some local history few would know otherwise.

Looks great. Isn't the building next to it getting torn down?

This project also gained approval from the COJ Historic Preservation Commission in August, I believe. Love to see it.

Hopefully, at least the facade can be saved.
