Preservation Success in Fairfield

In a town known for its rapid demolition of historic structures, the work recently completed on the Livingston Methodist Church in Fairfield, located just east of Downtown Jacksonville, offers a refreshing change of pace.

This Gothic-inspired structure is located at 648 Parker Street.  It was built as the Livingston Mission Methodist Episcopal Church in 1912.  During a January 2007 Metro Jacksonville tour, the structure appeared to be in bad shape and on its last legs.
