Dr. Wayne Wood, share their personal postcard collections and take
readers on a captivating journey through Jacksonville’s history.
Featured are postcards that show the 1920s real estate boom and
transportation across the St. Johns River. View postcards that document
the ever-changing Hemming Plaza, a metamorphosis that continues even
today. This second volume of vintage postcard images will give readers
a deeper insight into Jacksonville’s past and the great importance of
historic preservation.
