Elks Club Building, Mediterranean Revival clubhouse and restaurant in downtown Jacksonville, United States.
The Elks Club Building is a three-story clubhouse and restaurant in downtown Jacksonville featuring Mediterranean Revival architectural elements throughout. The structure showcases a cast concrete entrance, recessed arcaded gallery, and ornate details while currently housing multiple businesses and dining establishments.
Construction took place in 1926 following a major fire that destroyed the original site. The building then became the headquarters for Florida's first Elks Lodge 221 and became an important landmark in downtown Jacksonville.
This building served as a gathering place where Jacksonville's professionals met to socialize and conduct business. The open layout and architectural design still reflect its role as a social hub for the community.
The building is located in downtown Jacksonville on North Laura Street and is accessible to foot traffic and nearby parking. Since it contains multiple independent businesses with separate operations, check ahead to see which spaces are currently open for your visit.
The third floor dining area features marble tablets that honor deceased members, preserving a rare architectural element from early club culture. A former bartender who had worked as a jockey previously shared stories from his career here, adding a personal connection to the building's past.
