3ElllllllS During the palmy tourist days of the eighties, when Jacksonville was known as the Winter City in Summerland , the names St. James, Carleton, Windsor were leaders on the preferred lists of where to go. Fastidious travelers from the North and East knew them well. Often referred to as the Fifth Avenue Hotel of Florida , the St. James was one of the pioneers in fashionable tourist life. Its doors were opened to the public, January 'l, l869, subsequently it was enlarged to occupy an entire square, bounded by Duval, Laura, Church, and l-logon streets. A frame construction, four stories high, it could accommodate SOO guests, providing hot and cold water, a passenger elevator, steam heat, and electric lights both inside and out. Outstanding in its pride was the fact that on its premises were installed the first electric lights in the state. Supporting its reputation for elegance and grandeur were its magnificent parlors and reception rooms, and not least among its attractions was the brass and string band which enlivened each season with daily concerts and played for the gayest of Saturday night hops. Rich in the praise of prominent Americans and nobility abroad, the St. James knew a proud heritage which only a few persons can-even echo now. When fire swept the city of Jacksonville in May, l9Ol, this entire structure was destroyed. The St, James building now occupies the site.
