Good design can be bold. 💫
Architect Taylor Hardwick spent five years ensuring the design and construction of the Haydon Burns Library in Downtown Jacksonville was just right, finishing in 1965. A facade of glass, tile mosaic, and hard angles, the 126,000 sq foot building was a stunning statement of architecture and detail. The library moved a few blocks away in 2005, and the building was largely shuddered until 2015, when The Jessie opened its doors - fully renovated in spectacular fashion, but keeping its authentic Hardwick aesthetic.
Bold. Historic. Authentic. 📍JAX, FLA.
