Are you looking for a home that exudes charm and history?
Don’t miss out on your choice of some of the current historic homes for sale in Northern FL.
The largest metropolitan area in North Florida is Jacksonville and its cities include Saint Augustine, Orange Park, and Fernandina Beach. Other metropolitan areas are Pensacola-Ferry, Pass-Brent, Tallahassee, Ocala, Gainesville, Crestview-Fort, Walton Beach-Destin, Panama City-Lynn Haven, and Palm Coast. Lake City and Palatka are also important cities considered micropolitan areas.
Northern Florida is sometimes called “Old Florida” because it shows what the culture of the entire state used to be like a few decades ago. It is more similar to the Deep South in terms of culture. The communities in Northern Florida are mostly rural with the exception of Jacksonville.
Aside from having attractive historic properties, Northern FL is also a paradise for anyone who enjoys nature. Residents and visitors alike enjoy hunting and fishing. North Florida is home to the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars.
What qualifies a home to be considered “historic”?
Generally, “historic” means at least 50 years old, but age alone doesn’t make a home historic.
A home is considered historic or architecturally significant by the National Register of Historic Places—or by the local historic board—if it displays a signature architectural style, embodies the essence of a given time period, or is associated with famous people from the past. Homes located in neighborhoods designated as historic districts also fall under this category.
Why buy a historic home in Northern FL?
Nothing comes close to the aesthetic beauty and unmatched architecture of a historic home.
Historic homes are often in high demand. That’s because listings for historic properties don’t happen every day. They also sell faster than other homes in the same neighborhood and close at a higher sales price because of their historical value.
In addition, most historic homes do qualify for some tax benefits or rehabilitation grants. This adds more value to the investment and offsets the costs of owning and maintaining the property.
If you're thinking about buying a historic home, you'll be delighted to learn that there are many places to find historic properties in Northern FL.
You can head to the oldest city in the U.S. and see what is available in Downtown St. Augustine. Feast your eyes on the beautiful architecture in the historic districts with lots of amenities within walking distance!
Imagine living under a canopy of the 100 year-old oak trees, covered porches, dormers, double-hung windows, inlaid wood floors, 12-foot ceilings, arched doorways, built-in cabinetry, tree-lined streets, and expansive parks. Sounds heavenly, right? These are just some of the notable characteristics of historic homes found in the Jacksonville area.

What is a public record?
The Florida Supreme Court has determined that public records are all materials made or received by an agency in connection with official business which are used to perpetuate, communicate or formalize knowledge. They are not limited to traditional written documents. Tapes, photographs, films and sound recordings are also considered public records subject to inspection unless a statutory exemption exists.
Florida Statutes 119.07 –
(1)(a) Every person who has custody of a public record shall permit the record to be inspected and copied by any person desiring to do so, at any reasonable time, under reasonable conditions, and under supervision by the custodian of the public records.
Nothing in the public records law requires that a request for public records be in writing or in person, although individuals may wish to make their request in writing to ensure they have an accurate record of what they requested. Unless otherwise exempted, a custodian of public records must honor a request for records, whether it is made in person, over the telephone, or in writing, provided the required fees are paid. In addition, nothing in the law requires the requestor to disclose the reason for the request.
In the State of Florida public records access is not only law under chapter 119.07 Florida Statutes, it is also a civil right protected by Article 1 Section 24 of the Florida Constitution. Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is quoted as saying...
In Florida, transparency is not up to the whim or grace of public officials. Instead, it is an enforceable right.
Since there is no such thing as PUBLIC RECORDS POLICE, the enforcement of our right falls on us, the public. If our right to access non exempt public records is denied it is our responsibility to vindicate that right by the means provided to us under 119.07 Florida Statutes. Whether it be through ignorance or outright hostility far to many public officials are more than happy to violate the law and deny our right of access. Sadly this ignorance or hostility to public records access often results in costly litigation that is passed on to the tax payer.
Lake Jackson Mounds Archaeological State Park
More than eight centuries ago, Native Americans inhabited the area around Lake Jackson, just north of Tallahassee. The park site was part of what is now known as the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex. Today the park encompasses four earthen temple mounds, with two available for viewing by the public. The largest mound is 278 feet by 312 feet at the base and approximately 36 feet in height. The village at the base of these mounds was a cultural, religious and population center in 1100-1200 AD.

Our Miss Brooks: Deacon Jones / Bye Bye / Planning a Trip to Europe / Non-Fraternization Policy
Our Miss Brooks is an American situation comedy starring Eve Arden as a sardonic high school English teacher. It began as a radio show broadcast from 1948 to 1957. When the show was adapted to television (1952--56), it became one of the medium's earliest hits. In 1956, the sitcom was adapted for big screen in the film of the same name.
Connie (Constance) Brooks (Eve Arden), an English teacher at fictional Madison High School.
Osgood Conklin (Gale Gordon), blustery, gruff, crooked and unsympathetic Madison High principal, a near-constant pain to his faculty and students. (Conklin was played by Joseph Forte in the show's first episode; Gordon succeeded him for the rest of the series' run.) Occasionally Conklin would rig competitions at the school--such as that for prom queen--so that his daughter Harriet would win.
Walter Denton (Richard Crenna, billed at the time as Dick Crenna), a Madison High student, well-intentioned and clumsy, with a nasally high, cracking voice, often driving Miss Brooks (his self-professed favorite teacher) to school in a broken-down jalopy. Miss Brooks' references to her own usually-in-the-shop car became one of the show's running gags.
Philip Boynton (Jeff Chandler on radio, billed sometimes under his birth name Ira Grossel); Robert Rockwell on both radio and television), Madison High biology teacher, the shy and often clueless object of Miss Brooks' affections.
Margaret Davis (Jane Morgan), Miss Brooks' absentminded landlady, whose two trademarks are a cat named Minerva, and a penchant for whipping up exotic and often inedible breakfasts.
Harriet Conklin (Gloria McMillan), Madison High student and daughter of principal Conklin. A sometime love interest for Walter Denton, Harriet was honest and guileless with none of her father's malevolence and dishonesty.
Stretch (Fabian) Snodgrass (Leonard Smith), dull-witted Madison High athletic star and Walter's best friend.
Daisy Enright (Mary Jane Croft), Madison High English teacher, and a scheming professional and romantic rival to Miss Brooks.
Jacques Monet (Gerald Mohr), a French teacher.
Our Miss Brooks was a hit on radio from the outset; within eight months of its launch as a regular series, the show landed several honors, including four for Eve Arden, who won polls in four individual publications of the time. Arden had actually been the third choice to play the title role. Harry Ackerman, West Coast director of programming, wanted Shirley Booth for the part, but as he told historian Gerald Nachman many years later, he realized Booth was too focused on the underpaid downside of public school teaching at the time to have fun with the role.
Lucille Ball was believed to have been the next choice, but she was already committed to My Favorite Husband and didn't audition. Chairman Bill Paley, who was friendly with Arden, persuaded her to audition for the part. With a slightly rewritten audition script--Osgood Conklin, for example, was originally written as a school board president but was now written as the incoming new Madison principal--Arden agreed to give the newly-revamped show a try.
Produced by Larry Berns and written by director Al Lewis, Our Miss Brooks premiered on July 19, 1948. According to radio critic John Crosby, her lines were very feline in dialogue scenes with principal Conklin and would-be boyfriend Boynton, with sharp, witty comebacks. The interplay between the cast--blustery Conklin, nebbishy Denton, accommodating Harriet, absentminded Mrs. Davis, clueless Boynton, scheming Miss Enright--also received positive reviews.
Arden won a radio listeners' poll by Radio Mirror magazine as the top ranking comedienne of 1948-49, receiving her award at the end of an Our Miss Brooks broadcast that March. I'm certainly going to try in the coming months to merit the honor you've bestowed upon me, because I understand that if I win this two years in a row, I get to keep Mr. Boynton, she joked. But she was also a hit with the critics; a winter 1949 poll of newspaper and magazine radio editors taken by Motion Picture Daily named her the year's best radio comedienne.
For its entire radio life, the show was sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive-Peet, promoting Palmolive soap, Lustre Creme shampoo and Toni hair care products. The radio series continued until 1957, a year after its television life ended.
