Old buildings hold memories for long-timers
Placeholder Image
A couple of downtown Gainesville landmarks that hold special memories for a lot of people are undergoing yet another series of renovations. One is what became known as the Gym of ’36, the former Gainesville High school gymnasium that survived the tornado of 1936. After Gainesville High School moved to its present location on Century Place off Pearl Nix Parkway, the school building itself was demolished, but the gymnasium remained.
