Historical Renovation
Otis Elevator Building

Picture

8,000 Square Feet
Cost PSF: $40
Project Completed: 1979


The Otis Elevator Building in at 255 N. Liberty Street in downtown Jacksonville is one of only a few commercial office buildings from the 1920’s that was only one-story tall, as that area of town was heavily residential.

The 1979 renovation for Easton Sanderson Company involved converting the single story building into a two-story building within the existing building height. Tom Perdue, with structural engineer Dole Kelley, used concrete 6” thick core slabs to allow the second floor to fit within the existing building height, a unique solution.
