Built in 1952 and designed by W. Kenyon Drake & Associates Architects & Engineers, the Peninsular Life Insurance Company opened its Jacksonville branch office at 1939 Hendricks Avenue. The insurance company occupied the second floor, while the first floor was designed for three individual storefronts. All the exterior openings you see today are the original door and window locations from the 1952 design.
The exposed floors, ceilings and sturdy structural are all a nod to original design, standing up to 71 years of changing times. G4 is proud to have restored this architectural gem back to its mid-century modern glory.
