121 years ago today, the Great Fire of 1901 swept through Jacksonville destroying much of the city. A treasure of homes, buildings and blocks were lost to flame. We can't help but wonder how the character, architecture and streetscapes of our city would be different today should that tragedy have never occurred. We lost much, but also took advantage of the opportunity to rebuild, reimagine and grow our community.
From the ashes, a phoenix arose. 🔥💪🏫
