Another Lost Treasure


Jacksonville lost another one of its historic landmarks on April 28, 2007, with the demolition of the Lampru Court Apartments. Considered one of the best works of architect Henrietta C. Dozier, this 2-building grouping on Boulevard was one of the highlights of the Springfield Historic District. After many years of neglect, the buildings were condemned by the city as an imminent public danger.

Springfield activist Rita Reagan called it "a tragic loss."
