The flats at Green Cove Springs

Florida · USA · Cemetery

Built as military housing in the thirties, with a cemetery in the middle of the grounds. When the base closed the housing was sold off and went downhill.

This complex at Green Cove Springs, Florida was built as military housing in the 1930s, and there is a cemetery in the middle of the grounds.

When the naval base here closed, the housing was sold to a private owner and declined badly over the following decades, until it was taken in hand in 1997.

Several of the flats produce reports.

A burial ground in the middle of a housing estate is the detail that anchors this one. The graves were there before the housing, the housing was built around them, and every resident walks past them.

Green Cove Springs was a substantial naval station. After the Second World War the St Johns River here held the mothball fleet, hundreds of ships tied up in rows, and the town emptied when they went.

These are private homes.
