The Baptist Convention building was constructed in 1924, by Jacksonville famed Architect Henry John Klutho, and is a National Historic Landmark Building. The building had been abandoned for approximately 40+ years and the renovation followed the State Historic Preservation and National Park Service guidelines for historic renovations, and also participated in the City of Jacksonville’s Downtown Preservation and Restoration Program. The Baptist Convention Building will be converted to a mixed-use facility, comprised of future mercantile suites, future restaurant spaces, and 24 studio and 1-bedroom apartments. The Baptist Convention building requires extensive structural repairs, and also requires a complete replacement of building systems, such as HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing, Technology, etc.
