Sheriff's Equestrian Facility | Jacksonville, Florida

The new Sheriff's Equestrian Facility constructed in the historic redevelopment district of LaVilla, in downtown Jacksonville is the new home of the Jacksonville Mounted Police Unit. In keeping with the historic LaVilla guidelines, this building is richly detailed with forms and materials that recall turn of the century downtown buildings. The brick exterior is detailed with wainscoting and soldier coursed arches. The building's fenestration is reminiscent of tall and narrow historic proportions and the roof is clad with standing seam metal. Set within a lush green pasture, the building is surrounded by a wrought iron fence set between brick pilasters. The building houses eight horse stalls, a tack room, wash down bays, administrative offices, storage, and a patrol stop station. This building's siting, materials, form and detailing provide the LaVilla area with a new stately addition.
