Historic designation recommended for Greenleaf & Crosby Building Downtown

July 28, 2023

The Jacksonville Historic Preservation Commission voted July 26 to designate the 96-year-old Greenleaf & Crosby Building Downtown as a Jacksonville landmark.

The building is at 208 N. Laura St., at Laura and Adams streets.

Agreeing with the Jacksonville Planning and Development Department’s recommendation to approve the designation, the commission voted 5-0 to add the structure to the Downtown National Register.

“Thank you to the staff for putting this together. Obviously, if we’re not landmarking something like this in town, what are we even doing here?” said commission member Julia Epstein, a project architect with Dasher Hurst Architects.
