2 Additional locations in Palatka, Florida

Hit two locations on the National Register today in Palatka:  Also did 7 markers at the courthouse, and 1 out at the airport.   

First up was something called the Central Academy.  The Central Academy (also known as the Old Central Academy High School) is a historic site in Palatka, Florida. It is located at 127 Washington Street. Established in 1892, Central Academy became the first accredited African-American high school in Florida in 1924. The first Central Academy building was destroyed by fire in 1936. The present building replaced it in 1937. For a time it served as the school district's transportation office. The building, which the district turned over to the Palatka Housing Authority, fell into disrepair. A committee is working to raise money for its restoration. On November 12, 1998, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
I can vouch for the fact it is certainly fallen into disrepair. The roof is totally gone, can expect the interior is much better.  Probably a candidate for removal.  

Next was the Larimer Memorial Library on Main Street downtown: 

It had survived much better!  Larimer Memorial Library is a historic library at 216 Reid Street in Palatka, Florida, United States. It was given to the Arts Council of Greater Palatka in 1992, and renamed the Larimer Arts Center. On March 12, 2008, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.  It as you can see, has been repurposed as an Arts Center.
