Owners of the historic Central Fire Station Building Downtown seek conceptual approval from the Downtown Development Review Board for adaptive reuse of the two-story structure at 39 E. Adams St.
Owners Farley and Paul Grainger propose to convert the almost 120-year-old, 9,600-square-foot building into a mixed-use development for a restaurant and office space, according to WJCT News partner the Jacksonville Daily Record.
Brooke Robbins of Robbins Design Studio is the applicant.
The 0.12-acre site is at northwest Adams and Ocean streets.
The Graingers propose restaurant space on the ground floor and office space on the second story.
The request explains the scope of work and includes complete core and shell exterior building repairs and code compliance upgrades, including a new roof, exterior facade repairs, door and window replacement, ADA compliance, egress upgrades, utility connections and new streetscape to complete with city standards.
