Photos from 33 Years of the Preservation Movement. Dr. Wayne Wood, Dean Emeritus of Jacksonville's preservation efforts, presents rare photos of some of the city's all-time greatest buildings that have been destroyed, as well as some of the crowning glories of Jacksonville's restoration and preservation efforts.

Wayne Wood, OD
Widely regarded as one of the foremost chroniclers of northeast Florida’s history and architecture, Wayne has been called “the undisputed godfather of preservation in Jacksonville.” The founder of Riverside Avondale Preservation and past chairman of the Jacksonville Historic Landmarks Commission, he has published seven books about Jacksonville’s history, including the classic Jacksonville's Architectural Heritage: Landmarks for the Future. The recipient of numerous awards, and in its fourth printing, this 424-page volume is believed to be on more coffee tables than any other book in Florida. He also co-authored The Great Fire of 1901 with the late Times-Union columnist Bill Foley and produced The Architecture of Henry John Klutho – The Prairie School in Jacksonville with architect Robert Broward. Wayne’s latest book is The Jacksonville Family Album: 150 Years of the Art of Photography. In addition to being a writer, Wayne is an optometrist in private practice, with offices in Riverside and Ponte Vedra. He is nationally recognized for his work in contact lenses and has presented hundreds of lectures to optometrists in over 20 countries.
