Nickell Building

2020 Six to Save

Built in 1926, the Nickell Building is a contributing, but altered structure in the John Nolen Plan of Venice National Register Historic District. It was one of the original commercial buildings during the development of Venice by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. Typical of the 1920s, there were retail businesses on the first floor and residential apartments on the second floor. The building had been scheduled for demolition because of deterioration due to neglect. The City of Venice Architectural Review Board has delayed demolition, pending design of a replacement building.
