1924 Enge Brothers View or Map of Jacksonville Heights, Florida

This is a c. 1925 Enge Brothers map of Lynn Park Lots in Jacksonville Heights, Jacksonville, Florida. Lynn Park Lots was a development south of Jacksonville along the St. John's River. The view highlights the area's main streets, its railroad station, and its school. A country club and a U.S. military base (Jacksonville Naval Air Station) are both labeled. An inset map illustrates the lot layout of Lynn Park.

A Promotional Piece

This piece promotes Lynn Park Lots and states rather convincingly that lots in the area would make great investments. Two of its most repeated pitches are its proximity to Jacksonville ('only eight miles') and the importance of Jacksonville within Florida ('the largest and most prosperous city in Florida'). The typewritten letter on the verso states that 50' by 125' lots were for sale for $60 each, $50 if paid in cash, and that this was the 'opportunity of a lifetime'.
