Save Old Mount Carmel
We are excited to announce that Old Mount Carmel Baptist Church has been listed on the Florida Trust's 11 to Save! This listing will bring promotion, networking and advocacy support to this important Civil Rights resource.

The UF Historic Preservation Program and the University of Florida School of Architecture have been partnering with Pastor Gerard Duncan since 2019 to support the building's rehabilitation for use as a social justice and neighborhood community center. We have recently completed a grant to provide HABS Drawings, existing building assessments, oral histories, and a community workshop. We look forward to moving the project forward with the help of the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation, Inc.!
