Mandarin
Historical Museum | Jacksonville,
Florida
The new Mandarin Historical
Museum is located in the heart of old Mandarin
surrounded by significant historical structures.
The building is designed in the style of a Florida
"cracker" house, replicating vernacular homes
built in the 1800's by early Florida settlers.
In keeping with this style, the home is constructed
off-grade with wood framing, pitched roofs and
covered porches. The exterior is finished with
lap siding, true divided lite windows and a tin
5-V crimp roof. The building's interior contains
exhibition space, work space and a conference/classroom
area.
