On the 15th day of April, 2004, the South Jacksonville Grammar School was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.  Architects, Victor Earl Mark and Leroy Sheftall designed the school and it was built in 1916.  The school closed in 1971. It was used by the Duval County School board for administrative offices for a time. The building was sold in 2001 to  a San Marco=based company owned by Barbara Cesery and her brother Bill Cesery, developers in Jacksonville, Florida.  The school was developed into 38 loft units for family living.

With new growth in the San Marco area and it being just south of Jacksonville , the historic former Southside Grammar has outlived many other former schools in the county.

See you tomorrow,
